"At Stanwich, we’ve always strived to lead the industry and push the envelope to deliver best-in-class value for our clients. Partnering with Nectar is another step in that direction. Their AI-powered platform gives us instant access to detailed utility data that used to take teams of people and days to collect. It seamlessly complements the proprietary platform we’ve developed in-house, enabling faster insights, smarter forecasting, and more accurate budget tracking. It also strengthens our ability to deliver on key sustainability goals by providing real-time visibility into usage and emissions. Looking ahead, this partnership opens the door to even more advanced capabilities as we continue to raise the bar for what clients should expect from their energy advisor." --John O'Connell, Founder and CEO at Stanwich Energy

How this API is organized

In the following pages in the Nectar API guide, you'll learn about how to get started with the API, connect utility accounts, and query your data. We recommend starting from the following pages:

• Getting started: familiarize yourself with Nectar's data schema and make your first request
• Sandboxed Utility Accounts: explore our API via Nectar's sandboxed utility account with mock data.
• API Documentation: explore all endpoints to create and modify companies, sites, utility accounts, and more.
• Use cases: explore common cases for energy procurement managers, ESG / carbon accounting, and corporate sustainability.

The challenge of utility data integrations

Utility data collection stands as one of the biggest blockers towards rapid decarbonization. After helping automate sustainability data initiatives at Fortune 500 companies across manufacturing, food & beverage, and logistics, we're making the Nectar API public to solve our partners' data challenges:

• Energy consultants and brokers face scalability challenges without using data automation
• Carbon accounting platforms incur high operating costs via in-house or out-sourced labor
• Companies doing their CDP report spend 100+ hours a year reading utility bills to record usage

Companies integrate the Nectar API to add automated utility data collection. Your clients connect their utility accounts once, and your platform gets up-to-date usage data forever.
