Voltus Dispatches API

Grid dispatch events for enrolled sites — list dispatches, retrieve a single dispatch by ID, and create a test dispatch. Documented operations are GET /dispatches ("Returns a list of dispatches."), POST /dispatches ("Creates a test dispatch.") and GET /dispatches/{id} ("Retrieves the dispatch with the given ID."). Dispatch objects carry program, market (e.g. MISO), program_type, start/end time, modification_number, optional metadata and per-site drop_by (deprecated) and commitment values. Verified live against the public sandbox, with the full operation contracts harvested into openapi/voltus-openapi.yml.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Voltus Dispatches 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.
