n3rgy

n3rgy data limited is a United Kingdom smart-energy data platform, registered in England (No. 11712674) and owned by Smart Metering Systems Ltd. It sits between Great Britain's mandated smart-metering infrastructure — the DCC network, SMETS2 home area networks (HANs), and the ESME/GSME electricity and gas meters behind them — and the organisations that want to read from it, letting a business collect consumption, production, and tariff data for a property (addressed by MPAN/MPRN, collectively MPxN) once the occupant has granted consent, without that business having to become a DCC user in its own right. Its API posture is public in documentation and closed in access: a genuinely anonymous MkDocs developer guide and a complete OpenAPI 3.0.1 contract for the Customer Service API V2 are served to anyone, while every operation is x-api-key gated and live keys must be enabled by the n3rgy back office after a business sign-up. Britain mandated the metering infrastructure, not a consumer data right, so nothing here is a Consumer Data Right or Green Button implementation — n3rgy publishes no open grid or market data at all, and the formerly public consumer API is, by the company's own statement, no longer available.

n3rgy publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Customer Service API V2. Tagged areas include Energy, United Kingdom, Utilities, Smart Metering, and Electricity.

The n3rgy catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

n3rgy’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, signup flow, developer portal, pricing, support, changelog, and 15 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/n3rgy: 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: The consent-scoped smart-meter data API of the n3rgy platform. A business holding a valid n3rgy API key lists
    the properties (MPxNs) it has active consent for, discovers which utilities (electricity, gas) and reading types (consumption,
    production, tariff) are available for each, and retrieves the underlying half-hourly data. The same contract also covers
    meter update-frequency control, MPxN and address lookup, read-inventory / firmware and last-communications checks, on-demand
    "update now" fetches, push-notification configuration, and an upload/devices surface for non-DCC device data. Every operation
    is secured with the x-api-key header; consent-bearing operations additionally validate that an active consent exists for
    the HAN behind the given MPxN. A free sandbox with demonstration MPxNs mirrors the live contract on a separate host.
