Genability is a United States energy-data platform, based in San Francisco and now part of Arcadia, that sells programmatic access to North American electricity tariff data and a bill-calculation engine. Its Signal API — served from api.genability.com and documented as "Arcadia Platform - Signal" — covers electricity utilities, tariffs, territories, seasons, time-of-use definitions, calendars, utility taxes and typical-usage baselines across the USA, Canada and Mexico, plus on-demand and mass cost calculations used for solar savings analysis, storage dispatch, EV charging economics, procurement and bill auditing. Genability sits in the private, commercial layer of the energy value chain: it is not a utility, not a retailer and not a designated data holder under any consumer-energy-data mandate, so no Green Button, ESPI, CDR or other energy data standard is referenced anywhere in its documentation. Its API posture is honestly "self-serve but entirely closed data": a developer can sign up at dash.genability.com in minutes, but every endpoint — including the ones pathed /rest/public/ — returns 401 without an appId/appKey, so none of this tariff or market reference data is openly published, and Genability exposes no individual customer's usage or billing data at all (that consumer-data surface lives in Arcadia's separate Plug/Arc API).
Genability publishes 14 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Signal Tariff API, Signal Load Serving Entity API, Signal Territory API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include Energy, United States, Utilities, Electricity, and Tariffs.
Genability’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, sandbox, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, and 33 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Energy & Utilities regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
