SP Electricity North West Open Data Explore API v2.0

The previous-generation Opendatasoft Explore REST API v2.0, still served on the SP Electricity North West domain alongside v2.1. Same 16-path read-only shape — catalogue, dataset metadata, records, facets, attachments and CSV/JSON/Parquet/GPX exports — against the same 146 datasets. Retained here because it is a distinct live base URL with its own OpenAPI 3.0.3 contract, harvested verbatim on 2026-07-27.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of SP Electricity North West Open Data Explore API v2.0, 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.
