Kevala

Kevala Inc. is a San Francisco based grid intelligence company, founded in 2014, that builds a cloud-based electric-grid data and analytics platform for utilities, regulators and government agencies, renewable energy developers, and transportation electrification planners. The platform merges address-specific geospatial data, utility network models and hyper-granular time-series data into map-based analytics for integrated grid planning, distributed energy resource (DER) adoption forecasting, project siting, power flow analysis, locational carbon accounting, production cost modeling, and predictive interconnection siting metrics, with exports compatible with CYME, Synergi, PSS/E and OpenDSS. Kevala licenses its data and analysis by subscription and operates an authenticated platform API at api.kevala.com; the DER metering surface publishes an OpenAPI document and a ReDoc reference, but both require platform credentials and no public developer portal, API reference or machine-readable specification is served anonymously.

Kevala publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Energy, Electricity, Electric Grid, and Grid Analytics.

Kevala’s developer surface includes signup flow, engineering blog, release notes, changelog, authentication, and 18 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/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/kevala: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →

  description: Authenticated REST surface of the Kevala platform, mounted at https://api.kevala.com/der/ and implemented with
    Django REST Framework. Kevala's September 2024 platform release notes describe a "DER Metering — New portal for accessing
    meter status and PV generation data". The service publishes its own OpenAPI document at /der/openapi/ (Content-Type application/vnd.oai.openapi)
    and a ReDoc reference at /der/redoc/, but both return HTTP 403 {"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."}
    to anonymous callers, so the contract could not be captured. Access tokens are issued by Kevala's Auth0 tenant for the
    audience https://api.kevala.com.
