The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) is the not-for-profit FERC-jurisdictional entity that operates New York State's bulk electricity grid, administers the state's wholesale energy, capacity and ancillary-services markets, and performs long-term power system planning. Formed in 1999 out of the New York Power Pool, it sits squarely in the wholesale middle of the value chain - between generators, transmission owners and interconnectors on one side and the investor-owned utilities and retail suppliers who actually bill New York consumers on the other. NYISO's API posture is the sector's classic two-speed split, and NYISO lands hard on both ends of it. Market and system data is genuinely open - the MIS public archive at mis.nyiso.com/public serves roughly sixty machine-readable report families (day-ahead and real-time LBMP, actual and forecast load, real-time fuel mix, ATC/TTC, outages, constraints, interface flows, bid data, capacity, uplift, emissions) as daily CSV and monthly ZIP with no account, no key and no referrer check, and the FERC-mandated OASIS node publishes an anonymously listable object store of transmission postings. Consumer data is the exact opposite - there is none, and none is expected, because NYISO holds no retail customer relationships. Every real REST API NYISO documents - the Finance APIs (Metering, Settlements, Invoicing) and the Metering API under api.nyiso.com - is market-participant-only, gated behind an MIS user account plus a NAESB-accredited digital certificate, and every one of those endpoints answers 401 anonymously. The United States has no consumer energy data mandate behind Green Button, and in any case Green Button binds distribution utilities, not system operators, so NYISO carries no Green Button or Consumer Data Right obligation at all.
New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) is listed with 6 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Energy, United States, Electricity, Energy Markets, and Grid.
New York Independent System Operator (NYISO)’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, legal docs, support, engineering blog, authentication, sandbox, and 14 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.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
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/.

description: NYISO's Market Information System public archive - the operator's flagship open data surface. Roughly sixty
machine-readable report families are published as predictable daily CSV files and monthly ZIP bundles under a stable path
convention, covering day-ahead and real-time zonal and generator LBMP, ancillary services prices, ISO load forecast, real-time
and integrated actual load, real-time fuel mix, ATC/TTC and long-term ATC/TTC, transmission and generation outages, limiting
constraints, interface limits and flows, PAR schedules and flows, Lake Erie circulation, bid data, capacity reports, zonal
and resource uplift, generator and load reference names, active transmission nodes, subzone definitions, and the DOE EIA-930
hourly demand postings. Fully anonymous over plain HTTP and HTTPS - no key, no account, no application, no licence click-through.
Verified by direct probe on 2026-07-27 - for example csv/damlbmp/20260725damlbmp_zone.csv, csv/realtime/20260725realtime_zone.csv,
csv/pal/20260725pal.csv, csv/rtfuelmix/20260725rtfuelmix.csv and csv/isolf/20260725isolf.csv each returned 200 text/csv,
and monthly bundles such as csv/damlbmp/20260701damlbmp_zone_csv.zip returned 200. This is a file-based data surface with
a URL convention, not a REST API, and NYISO publishes no OpenAPI, WSDL or JSON contract for it.

description: NYISO's Open Access Same-Time Information System (OASIS) node, the FERC Order 889/890 transmission-service
transparency surface. The operator front-end at oasis.nyiso.com is a single-page application backed by a publicly readable
object store at oasis-postings.nyiso.com, which answers an anonymous S3 ListBucket request with 200 application/xml and
serves each posting in parallel CSV, HTML and PDF renderings under keys such as ACTIVE_TRANSMISSION_NODE/CSV/activetransmissionnodes.csv
and ATC_TTC/CSV/YYYY/MM/DD/atc_ttc-YYYYMMDD.csv with history reaching back to 1999. No credentials of any kind are required.
Verified by probe on 2026-07-27. Conformance to the NAESB WEQ-001 OASIS template interface was NOT verified - template-style
paths under oasis.nyiso.com returned the SPA's HTML shell rather than a template response - so this is recorded as an
open postings surface, not as a confirmed WEQ-001 implementation.

SDX upload/download application, which NYISO withdrew on 2025-09-17. Access is restricted to NYISO market participants

that account on every request. All endpoints returned 401 Authorization Required to anonymous probes on 2026-07-27. A
