Tibber is a fully-digital Nordic and European retail electricity provider operating in Norway, Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. Founded in 2016 by Daniel Lindén and Edgeir Vårdal Aksnes, the company passes Nord Pool / EPEX hourly spot prices through to customers at cost and overlays software-driven optimisation for EV charging, heat pumps, and rooftop solar to shift load to cheap and clean grid hours. Tibber publishes two distinct developer APIs: the long-standing GraphQL endpoint at api.tibber.com/v1-beta/gql for customer, subscription, price, consumption, production, and real-time `liveMeasurement` data streamed from the Tibber Pulse; and the newer OAuth 2.0 Data API at data-api.tibber.com that exposes normalised time series for third-party IoT devices (vehicles, chargers, thermostats / heat pumps, inverters, home batteries) linked through the Tibber mobile app.
Tibber publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Devices API, History API, Homes API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Energy, Smart Home, Smart Meter, ElectricityPricing, and EV Charging.
The Tibber catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Tibber’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, signup flow, pricing, support, changelog, and 41 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.
Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we
read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries
10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually
publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the
provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers.
This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from
the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn.
If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your
provider repo and we
will drop the facet rather than have you publish against it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 65 points between them,
because both conditional facets apply and carry
35 points together. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 65% 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/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/tibber: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

Resolve the WebSocket subscription URL and check whether a home has Tibber Pulse real-time consumption enabled before opening a liveMeasurement stream.
Customers are billed at the Nord Pool / EPEX hourly spot price plus a fixed monthly fee, with no margin on the energy component.
Tibber Pulse Live Measurement
Optional hardware clipped onto a smart-meter HAN or P1 port that streams ~2 s power, voltage, and current readings into the GraphQL liveMeasurement subscription.
GraphQL Customer API
Single endpoint exposing viewer, homes, currentSubscription, priceInfo, consumption, and production with hourly through annual resolution.
OAuth 2.0 Data API
REST API for third-party IoT device data with PKCE-recommended Authorization Code Flow and category-scoped device access.
Smart EV Charging
Schedules charging into cheap and clean grid hours for connected vehicles and EVSEs.
Smart Heat Pump Control
Optimisation of air-to-air, air-to-water, and ground-source heat pumps to shift load to favourable price windows.
Push Notification Mutation
sendPushNotification GraphQL mutation lets approved integrators trigger notifications inside the Tibber mobile app.
Meter Reading Mutation
sendMeterReading lets customers and integrators submit cumulative meter readings programmatically.
Immutable Paginated Device History
Data API serves cursor-paged device history at quarterHour, hour, day, and month resolutions with documented retention.
Per-Category OAuth Scopes
Devices only surface when the access token carries the matching scope (vehicles, chargers, thermostats, inverters, energy systems).
Discovery needs no key. Ratings and market analysis are Pro.
