Grid Status
Grid Status is a United States electricity grid and power market data platform. The hosted Grid Status API (api.gridstatus.io) exposes hundreds of curated datasets - day-ahead and real-time LMP and settlement point prices, load and load forecasts, fuel mix, ancillary services, storage, and transmission constraints - across CAISO, ERCOT, PJM, MISO, NYISO, SPP, ISONE, and IESO through a uniform dataset query model authenticated with an API key. Grid Status also maintains the open-source gridstatus Python library (BSD-3-Clause) for pulling raw data directly from ISO/RTO sources, and the gridstatusio client for the hosted API.
Grid Status publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including API Info API, API Usage API, Block Pricing Data API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Day-Ahead Prices, Electricity, Grid Data, Energy Markets, and LMP.
Grid Status’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.
