AESO Application Programming Interface (API)
The AESO’s Application Programming Interface (API) allows AESO data to be accessed programmatically, providing for more reliability.
We have made multiple public reports available through these APIs and continue to add more. Please note that currently we are making the APIs available through 2 API gateways – Swagger API Gateway (old) and Azure APIM API Gateway (new). Most of the APIs are available on the old gateway but in due course they will be migrated to the new gateway.
The list of APIs on each gateway are as follows:
Swagger API Gateway
