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 (coming soon): 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:

• Carbon accounting platforms incur high operating costs via in-house or out-sourced labor
• ESG and energy consultants face scalability challenges without using data automation
• 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.
