Leap

Leap is a San Francisco-based energy software company that lets technology brands build and scale virtual power plants (VPPs). Its platform aggregates distributed energy resources — residential and commercial battery storage, smart thermostats and heat pumps, and EV charging — and gives them a single point of integration into wholesale electricity markets and utility grid-service programs across CAISO, NYISO and other regions. Leap exposes a universal REST API covering meter onboarding and bulk creation, utility data authorization (Leap Connect), enrollment and participation management, market nominations and bidding, real-time dispatch delivery over webhooks or polling, event performance and interval data, and revenue settlement reporting. Partners authenticate with environment-scoped bearer API keys against separate staging and production hosts, and Leap publishes OpenAPI definitions, a dated changelog, an llms.txt index and a public status page.

Leap publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Meter Details API, Meter Enrollment API, Create Meters API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Company, Energy, Electricity, Virtual Power Plant, and Demand Response.

The Leap catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Leap’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, changelog, and 28 more developer resources.

  company named Leap is the energy/VPP platform at leap.energy (Series A led by USV, January 2020), which is the company profiled
  here. The accel and creandum attributions on the original stub could not be verified against either company and were removed.
