aid: ontario-energy-board url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/ontario-energy-board/refs/heads/main/apis.yml name: Ontario Energy Board kind: company description: The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is the independent regulator of Ontario's electricity and natural gas sectors, licensing and rate-regulating roughly 60 electricity distributors, the province's transmitters, storage and generation licensees, unit sub-meter providers, energy retailers and gas marketers, and Enbridge Gas. It sits above the wires-and-pipes layer of Canada's largest provincial energy market — it does not own assets, does not run the wholesale market (that is IESO) and holds no customer meter data — so everything it publishes is regulatory, rate and utility-performance data rather than consumption data. Its API posture is the sharpest consumer-versus-market split this series has recorded in Canada. On market data it is genuinely open — an Open Data programme launched September 2022 under Ontario's Digital and Data Directive publishes 40 datasets - 198 individual files, verified by crawl on 2026-07-27; the programme's own earlier count was 18 - as anonymous, key-free XML, XLSX and GIS files under the Open Government Licence – Ontario, covering every open application before the Board (updated daily), current electricity and natural gas rates, distributor service-territory boundaries, the distributor performance scorecard, consumer complaints, and thirteen Reporting and Record-keeping Requirements (RRR) filings series going back to 2015. On consumer data it publishes nothing at all, because it holds nothing — it is instead the supervisor of the consumer-data mandate. Ontario is the only Canadian jurisdiction with a compulsory energy-data-sharing rule — O. Reg. 633/21 (Energy Data) under the Electricity Act, 1998 required rate-regulated electricity and natural gas utilities to implement Green Button Download My Data and Connect My Data to NAESB REQ.21 ESPI v3.3 by 1 November 2023 — and the OEB is the body that ran the consultation (EB-2021-0183), amended the Retail Settlement Code, collected quarterly progress reports and publishes the implementation status register naming 54 confirmed distributors and 6 extensions. There is no developer portal, no OpenAPI, no API key and no signup — just files, plus an undocumented but live JSON output on the regulatory document search. image: https://www.oeb.ca/themes/de_theme/logo.svg tags: - Energy - Canada - Ontario - Utilities - Electricity - Gas - Green Button - Smart Metering - Energy Markets - Regulator - Open Data - Grid created: '2026-07-27' modified: '2026-07-27' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: ontario-energy-board:oeb-open-data name: OEB Open Data description: The Ontario Energy Board's Open Data programme, launched September 2022 under Ontario's Digital and Data Directive (2021) and expanded in October 2023 ("Open Data 2.0") and August 2024. A crawl of both pages of the programme index on 2026-07-27 found 40 datasets linking 198 individual files (the earlier round recorded 18 datasets), all directly downloadable, anonymous, key-free files — no registration, no application, no rate limit and no terms click-through — under the Open Government Licence – Ontario. The largest share is XML — the daily-refreshed register of every open application before the Board, three monthly/quarterly rate files that back the OEB's own bill calculator, twelve annual electricity distributor performance scorecard files (2013-2024), ten annual consumer complaint files, and thirteen Reporting and Record-keeping Requirements (RRR) series covering system reliability, service quality, major event response, billing accuracy, LEAP low-income assistance, customers and connections, labour, capital, supply and delivery, demand and revenue, utility characteristics and regulated return on equity, each published as separate current, 2015-2021, 2023 and 2024 files. Distributor service-territory boundaries ship as GIS ZIP archives for electricity and natural gas. This is not a query API — there is no base path, no parameters, no pagination and no machine-readable contract of any kind. It is a set of stable, versioned, anonymously fetchable files with a published guide for importing the XML into Excel.

aid: ontario-energy-board:oeb-regulatory-document-search name: OEB Regulatory Document Search (RDS) description: The OEB's public regulatory document search, serving every filing, decision, order, licence, code amendment and piece of correspondence in the Board's case record. It runs on Micro Focus / OpenText Content Manager WebDrawer, and the OEB links directly to parameterised query URLs of the form /CMWebDrawer/Record?q=CaseNumber=EB-2021-0183&sortBy=recRegisteredOn-&pageSize=400 from its own website — the licensed-companies list alone links hundreds of them. Fetched anonymously on 2026-07-27, this surface also honours a `format=json` parameter and returns application/json — a Content Manager ServiceAPIModel payload with Results, TotalResults, Count, HasMoreItems and typed Fields including CaseNumber, SIDocumentType, Applicant, EnergyType, PrimaryApplicationType and DateIssued — while /CMWebDrawer/Record/{uri}/File/document returns the underlying PDF. IMPORTANT — the OEB publishes no API reference, no base-URI statement, no query-syntax documentation, no OpenAPI and no terms for this interface; the JSON output is default behaviour of the underlying WebDrawer product, not a product the OEB documents or supports. It is recorded here because it was verified live and anonymous, not because it is an offered API. No key, no signup, no rate-limit policy published. humanURL: https://www.oeb.ca/rds baseURL: https://www.rds.oeb.ca/CMWebDrawer tags: - Regulatory - Document Search - Filings - Decisions - Licences - Undocumented properties: - type: Documentation url: https://www.oeb.ca/rds - type: Reference url: https://www.rds.oeb.ca/CMWebDrawer/Record?q=CaseNumber=EB-2021-0183&sortBy=recRegisteredOn-&pageSize=400 - type: Documentation url: https://www.oeb.ca/ontarios-energy-sector/list-licensed-companies - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/ontario-energy-board-rds-openapi.yml - type: Overlay url: overlays/ontario-energy-board-rds-overlay.yaml - type: JSONSchema url: json-schema/ontario-energy-board-rds-record-search-response.json - type: Examples url: examples/ontario-energy-board-rds-record-search-response.json - type: Vocabulary url: vocabulary/ontario-energy-board-rds-search-clauses.yml - type: ErrorCatalog url: errors/ontario-energy-board-problem-types.yml - type: Authentication url: authentication/ontario-energy-board-authentication.yml - type: AgentSkill url: skills/ontario-energy-board-track-case-filings.md - type: AgentSkill url: skills/ontario-energy-board-verify-green-button-mandate.md common: - type: DomainSecurity url: security/ontario-energy-board-domain-security.yml - type: Website url: https://www.oeb.ca/ - type: Documentation url: https://www.oeb.ca/open-data - type: Portal url: https://www.oeb.ca/open-data - type: ContentLicense url: https://www.ontario.ca/page/open-government-licence-ontario - type: Reference url: https://www.oeb.ca/green-button - type: Reference url: https://www.oeb.ca/consultations-and-projects/policy-initiatives-and-consultations/green-button-implementation - type: Reference url: https://www.oeb.ca/consultations-and-projects/policy-initiatives-and-consultations/green-button-industry-led-working - type: Reference url: https://www.oeb.ca/sites/default/files/Green-Button-implementation-status-summary.pdf - type: Reference url: https://www.oeb.ca/ontarios-energy-sector/list-licensed-companies - type: Reference url: https://www.oeb.ca/ontarios-energy-sector/performance-assessment/interactive-dashboards - type: Support url: https://www.oeb.ca/contact-ontario-energy-board - type: Blog url: https://www.oeb.ca/newsroom - type: Reference url: https://www.oeb.ca/about-oeb/mission-and-mandate - type: Authentication url: authentication/ontario-energy-board-authentication.yml - type: Conventions url: conventions/ontario-energy-board-conventions.yml - type: Conformance url: conformance/ontario-energy-board-conformance.yml - type: Lifecycle url: lifecycle/ontario-energy-board-lifecycle.yml - type: ChangeLog url: changelog/ontario-energy-board-changelog.yml - type: ErrorCatalog url: errors/ontario-energy-board-problem-types.yml - type: DataModel url: data-model/ontario-energy-board-data-model.yml - type: Vocabulary url: vocabulary/ontario-energy-board-rds-search-clauses.yml - type: AgentSkill url: skills/_index.yml - type: LLMsTxt url: llms/ontario-energy-board-llms.txt - type: PrivacyPolicy url: https://www.oeb.ca/legal-privacy-statements - type: Accessibility url: https://www.oeb.ca/accessibility-ontario-energy-board - type: Reference url: https://www.oeb.ca/sites/default/files/Open-Data-Guide-XML-Excel-20221215.pdf maintainers: - FN: Kin Lane email: kin@apievangelist.com
