Uplight
Uplight is a Boulder, Colorado energy technology company formed in 2019 from the merger of Tendril and Simple Energy and expanded through the acquisitions of EnergySavvy, FirstFuel, Ecotagious, EEme, and DERMS/VPP provider AutoGrid (closed February 2024). It sells software to electric and gas utilities and retailers in North America, Europe, and Asia rather than to consumers, covering energy efficiency and electrification marketplaces, home energy reports, rate engagement, demand response, distributed energy resource management (DERMS), virtual power plants, and a utility data lake with analytics. In the United States value chain Uplight sits on the utility side of the meter as a vendor and orchestration layer between the utility, its customers, and connected devices, and it publicly states support for OpenADR, IEEE 2030.5, Modbus, DNP3 and other SCADA protocols for DER control. Its API posture is honestly closed — a Developer Platform exists and is marketed to utilities and ecosystem partners, the documentation portal at docs.uplight.com serves a public landing shell but every Documentation and API Reference path redirects to a ReadMe login, and the production gateway at api.uplight.com answers anonymously only with HTTP 401 and a bearer-token error. No consumer usage-data API, no open market data, no downloadable OpenAPI, and no Green Button or ESPI reference could be found. Uplight is a software vendor, not a regulated data holder, so no consumer data mandate applies to it.
Uplight publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Energy, United States, Utilities, Electricity, and Gas.
Uplight’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, engineering blog, privacy policy, and 18 more developer resources.

name: Uplight Developer Platform API
description: Uplight markets a Developer Platform that exposes customer, program, eligibility, enrollment, device, and energy-flexibility
data to utilities and ecosystem partners through APIs. The reference is published on a ReadMe portal at docs.uplight.com,
but the /developer path 302-redirects to dash.readme.com login, so no operation, schema, scope, or rate limit is publicly
readable. The production gateway at api.uplight.com is real and reachable (Kong Enterprise 3.10) but returns HTTP 401
with an "Invalid or no token provided" error to every anonymous request, including /openapi.json, /swagger.json, /v1,
and /.well-known/openid-configuration. Listed here as a real but fully gated surface; no endpoints are claimed because
none are documented publicly.
