Hildebrand
Hildebrand Technology Limited is a London-based energy data company and, since 2019, the United Kingdom's first independent DCC Other User with a direct connection to the Smart Data Communications Company network. It sits between Britain's mandated smart-metering infrastructure and the applications built on top of it: it makes Glow hardware (CADs, in-home displays, sub-meters, temperature sensors), ingests and stores smart-meter reads at scale, and republishes them through the Glowmarkt Platform APIs, the consumer Bright app, and the commercial Glow Data Service. Its API posture is an honest reflection of the British market seam — Britain mandated the metering INFRASTRUCTURE, not a consumer data right, so there is no Consumer Data Right or Green Button obligation on Hildebrand and no standards-conformant data-sharing surface to point at. What exists instead is a proprietary but genuinely well-documented platform: five public Swagger 2.0 definitions are served anonymously from api.glowmarkt.com/api-docs, and any individual who installs Bright, creates an account and passes meter-point verification can call the same production API for their own household data with a published applicationId. Third-party organisational access to other people's data is the closed half — it runs through Glow Data Service on a signed contract from GBP 595/month per MPxN, with consumer verification and consent captured per meter point. Hildebrand publishes no open grid or market data of any kind: every documented endpoint returns HTTP 400 without an applicationId header, so this is a closed-market-data, consent-gated-consumer-data provider.
Hildebrand publishes 21 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Account API, Account Profile API, Account Session API, and 18 more. Tagged areas include Energy, United Kingdom, Utilities, Electricity, and Gas.
The Hildebrand catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Hildebrand’s developer surface includes getting-started guide, engineering blog, authentication, documentation, API reference, signup flow, pricing, and 27 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon Accounting Disclosure Standards (SBTi, PCAF, CDP, GHG Protocol) | undeclared | - | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
