What is the Clarity Grid API?

Clarity grid Extracts, Transforms and loads into a common format, the Tariffs and prices for
all the ISO’s Distributors in the lower 48 states and Australia. We also import and geo locate
every node and Nodal real time prices and Historical day ahead prices.


Users can use our Map interface to access nodes and our tariff library to access Tariffs.
Finding a tariff, and copying the data into your computer systems is a manual task using our Web site user Interface. That is where the api comes in. The api lets your computer talk to our computer to programmatically get the data you need where you need it using API calls to our different endpoints.

Tariffs General Workflow:
