Consumers Energy Outage Map ArcGIS REST API

Consumers Energy publishes its outage map data as an anonymous Esri ArcGIS Server 11.5 REST Services Directory on its own domain — no key, no account, no registration. CEOutageMap carries seven layers including the electric service territory polygon and live outage jobs (JOB_ID, CUSTOMER_COUNT, CAUSE_CD, CAUSE_DESC, OUTAGE_TIME, EST_TIME_RESTORATION, CREW_ASSIGNED); ServiceDashboard carries five county- and city-level rollups (CE_County_Outages, CE_City_Outages, CustomersInterruptedPercent, NumberOfInterruptions, NumberOfWireDowns) over both a MapServer and a FeatureServer. Every map service also publishes a WSDL 1.1 SOAP contract with 55 operations. This is the only first-party, CMS-Energy-operated machine-readable API surface in the profile.

Consumers Energy Outage Map ArcGIS REST API is one of 7 APIs that CMS Energy publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Outages, Geospatial, Open Data, Electric, and Utility. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

This API exposes 11 operations across 11 paths, organized into 3 resource areas, and defines 8 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.1.0, at version 11.5.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://www.consumersenergy.com/arcgispublic/rest.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Consumers Energy Outage Map ArcGIS REST API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
