SPP LEP/TROLIE Ratings API

SPP's REST implementation of GE Vernova's Limit Exchange Portal (LEP) using the LF Energy TROLIE (Transmission Ratings and Operating Limits Information Exchange) API specification, built to meet FERC Order 881 ambient-adjusted ratings obligations. SPP published a versioned Data Exchange Guide (v1.0, 8 Nov 2024) covering monitoring sets, forecast ratings, real-time ratings and seasonal ratings. No production base URL is published — SPP's own guide uses the placeholder https:/// throughout — and access requires an x.509 digital certificate from a CA SPP trusts plus a role assigned in SPP UAA. Not verifiable anonymously.

SPP LEP/TROLIE Ratings API is one of 6 APIs that Southwest Power Pool publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Transmission, Ratings, TROLIE, FERC Order 881, and Gated. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an OpenAPI specification.

This API exposes 28 operations across 16 paths, organized into 6 resource areas, and defines 109 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.0.3, at version 1.1.0.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://trolie.example.com.

Authentication & Security 1

SPP LEP/TROLIE Ratings API declares 1 security scheme for authenticating requests. It supports OAuth 2.0 (oauth2-primary-flow) using the clientCredentials flow, exposing 15 scopes. By default, every request must be authenticated.

  • oauth2-primary-flow — Support RFC8725 JWT tokens.

Paths & Operations 28

Across 16 paths, the API surfaces 28 operations — 3 DELETE, 15 GET, 2 PATCH, 5 POST, 3 PUT. They span 6 resource areas: Forecasting, Real-Time, Seasonal, Seasonal Overrides, Temporary AAR Exceptions, Monitoring Sets. Each is listed below with its method, path, parameters, and response codes.

Forecasting 6

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of SPP LEP/TROLIE Ratings 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.
