How does UtilityAPI’s Service Work? 

• Automated Customer Authorization Form – Your potential customer receives an authorization form granting UtilityAPI permission to collect their utility data on their behalf, all via an online form that can be viewed and filled out on mobile or desktop.
• Seamless Data Integration with Your System – The authorization form and data collection portals can easily integrate with your existing tools and applications. Once authorization is granted and you decide to collect the data, you will have access the potential customer’s utility data within minutes.
• Standardized Data Access Across Utilities – Each utility has varying degrees of data access; we standardize data types across utilities to reduce your data cleaning time.

How to Implement UtilityAPI

There are many ways to get UtilityAPI’s form in front of your customer​. Below is an example of how to embed UtilityAPI as an iframe in your current online customer flow. Our customers have integrated us with Salesforce and marketing automation tools.

Example:

​How we work with Green Button

Don’t have the API or code developed to connect and download Green Button? We’ve implemented Green Button and other data for your energy projects. UtilityAPI provides API to connect and download bill and interval data. Data is provided to the Company, with authorization from retail customer. Once the Company has the data, the Company can upload it, using their software, to the cloud database for the purpose of enabling the dashboard.

1. DER company has need for bill and interval data
2. DER company requests authorization from their customer
3. Retail customer grants authorization
4. UtilityAPI collects and standardizes the data
5. DER company can import it into the cloud, download the data manually, or import it into a software tool. The data can be automatically collected and streamed to where it needs to go. No manual intervention needed for daily data updates!
