Octopus Energy

Octopus Energy is a UK-founded retail energy supplier and the parent of Kraken Technologies, the AI-powered energy operating system that runs both Octopus and many of the world's largest utilities. Octopus operates a free, open REST API at api.octopus.energy/v1/ that exposes the full UK product catalog, electricity and gas tariff pricing (including the half-hourly wholesale-linked Agile Octopus and Tracker tariffs), meter-point details, half-hourly smart-meter consumption, and industry grid supply points. The Kraken developer portal at developer.octopus.energy adds a second REST surface generated from an OpenAPI spec plus a GraphQL API at /v1/graphql/ with API Collections grouping partner-facing queries and mutations for accounts, ledgers, billing, smart meters, EV charging, heat pumps, batteries, and Intelligent Octopus dispatch. Through Kraken Technologies the same platform powers 90M+ customer accounts at EDF, E.ON, Origin Energy, Tokyo Gas, Plentitude, National Grid, Severn Trent, and other utilities in 30 countries — making Octopus one of the most consequential open and programmable surfaces in retail energy.

Octopus Energy publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Consumption API, ElectricityMeterPoints API, ElectricityTariffs API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Energy, Electricity, Gas, Renewable Energy, and Smart Meter.

The Octopus Energy catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Octopus Energy’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, changelog, signup flow, support, engineering blog, and 44 more developer resources.

scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
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 does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.
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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
  • Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
  • Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
  • Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
  • Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks

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.

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.

Standards implemented 1

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

description: Octopus Energy is a UK-founded retail energy supplier and the parent of Kraken Technologies, the AI-powered energy
  operating system that runs both Octopus and many of the world's largest utilities. Octopus operates a free, open REST API
  at api.octopus.energy/v1/ that exposes the full UK product catalog, electricity and gas tariff pricing (including the half-hourly
  wholesale-linked Agile Octopus and Tracker tariffs), meter-point details, half-hourly smart-meter consumption, and industry
  grid supply points. The Kraken developer portal at developer.octopus.energy adds a second REST surface generated from an
  OpenAPI spec plus a GraphQL API at /v1/graphql/ with API Collections grouping partner-facing queries and mutations for accounts,
  ledgers, billing, smart meters, EV charging, heat pumps, batteries, and Intelligent Octopus dispatch. Through Kraken Technologies
  the same platform powers 90M+ customer accounts at EDF, E.ON, Origin Energy, Tokyo Gas, Plentitude, National Grid, Severn
  Trent, and other utilities in 30 countries — making Octopus one of the most consequential open and programmable surfaces
  in retail energy.
