aid: alinta-energy url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/alinta-energy/refs/heads/main/apis.yml name: Alinta Energy kind: company description: >- Alinta Energy is one of Australia's largest integrated energy retailers and generators, owned by Hong Kong-based Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, supplying electricity and gas to more than a million homes and businesses across Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland while operating an owned and contracted generation portfolio of roughly 3,000 MW spanning gas, coal, wind, solar and battery storage, plus the Lumo Energy retail brand. It sits at the retail end of the value chain — the tier the Australian Consumer Data Right binds. Alinta is a designated and live CDR energy data holder: its own public base URI https://public.cdr.alintaenergy.com.au serves the standards-conformant discovery endpoints (confirmed HTTP 200), and 493 of its energy plans are published anonymously through the CDR generic plan data channel — but that plan channel is hosted by the Australian Energy Regulator's Energy Made Easy platform, not by Alinta. Its API posture is therefore honestly summarised as mandate-implemented but developer-closed: everything of substance sits behind ACCC accreditation and consumer consent, Alinta publishes no developer portal, no self-serve API, no proprietary OpenAPI and no open grid or market data of its own. image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/icons/alinta-energy.png tags: - Energy - Australia - Utilities - Electricity - Gas - Energy Retail - Consumer Data Right - CDR - Open Energy Data - Smart Metering - Renewables - Generation created: '2026-07-27' modified: '2026-07-27' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: alinta-energy:alinta-energy-cdr-discovery-api name: Alinta Energy CDR Discovery API description: >- The only API Alinta Energy serves from its own infrastructure that a developer can call anonymously. Two unauthenticated operations mandated by the Australian Consumer Data Standards for every data holder — GET /discovery/status and GET /discovery/outages — which report whether the data holder's CDR surface is operational and disclose planned or current outages. Both were confirmed live on 2026-07-27 with HTTP 200 and header x-v 1, returning status "OK" ("All services operational") and an empty outages array. No other path under this base URI resolves; /energy/plans and /common/customer both returned HTTP 404. humanURL: https://consumerdatastandardsaustralia.github.io/standards/#discovery-apis baseURL: https://public.cdr.alintaenergy.com.au/cds-au/v1 tags: - Consumer Data Right - Discovery - Status - Outages properties: - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/alinta-energy-cds-common-api-openapi.yml - type: APIReference url: https://consumerdatastandardsaustralia.github.io/standards/#discovery-apis - type: Documentation url: https://consumerdatastandardsaustralia.github.io/standards/ - type: Status url: https://public.cdr.alintaenergy.com.au/cds-au/v1/discovery/status - type: APIStandards url: https://consumerdatastandardsaustralia.github.io/standards/ - aid: alinta-energy:alinta-energy-cdr-generic-plan-data-api name: Alinta Energy CDR Generic Plan Data API description: >- Alinta Energy's public electricity and gas plan catalogue, exposed as the CDR energy Generic Plan Data endpoints GET /energy/plans and GET /energy/plans/{planId}. Confirmed live on 2026-07-27 with HTTP 200 returning meta.totalRecords of 493 Alinta plans, and a plan detail fetch for planId ALI1144886SRG2@EME returning HTTP 200 at x-v 3. This data is genuinely open — no key, no consent, no accreditation — but the critical fact is that it is NOT served by Alinta. Unlike Australian banking, where every bank hosts its own Product Reference Data, the CDR energy regime centralises generic plan data at the Australian Energy Regulator, and this endpoint runs on the AER's Energy Made Easy CDR platform under the retailer slug "alinta". Alinta's own host returns 404 for the same path. humanURL: https://www.energymadeeasy.gov.au/ baseURL: https://cdr.energymadeeasy.gov.au/alinta/cds-au/v1 tags: - Consumer Data Right - Energy Plans - Tariffs - Open Data - Electricity - Gas properties: - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/alinta-energy-cds-energy-api-openapi.yml - type: APIReference url: https://consumerdatastandardsaustralia.github.io/standards/#energy-plans - type: Documentation url: https://consumerdatastandardsaustralia.github.io/standards/ - type: APIStandards url: https://consumerdatastandardsaustralia.github.io/standards/ - aid: alinta-energy:alinta-energy-cdr-energy-api name: Alinta Energy CDR Energy API description: >- The mandated consumer data-sharing surface. As a designated CDR energy data holder (register brand ID 8bd0fd93-9d26-ee11-a83d-000d3a8830d6, ABN 22149658300), Alinta must serve the Consumer Data Standards energy resource endpoints — accounts, balances, invoices, billing, payment schedules, concessions, electricity service points, interval usage and distributed energy resources — to ACCC-accredited data recipients holding a valid consumer consent. No baseURL is recorded because none is published: the mTLS resource and infosec base URIs are disclosed only through the CDR Register's authenticated data holder brand detail endpoint, which requires an accredited client certificate. Probes of secure., idp. and cdr. subdomains of alintaenergy.com.au did not resolve, and no /.well-known/openid-configuration is served anonymously.
