Power Stations API
Use this API to add searchable power-station reference data to energy maps, infrastructure catalogs, market research tools, and education products. It returns normalized JSON records with practical filters, capacity and commissioning fields where available, source-page attribution, and reference endpoints for countries, continents, generation types, fuels, and source pages.
Use Cases
- filter generation assets by country, fuel, capacity, and commissioned year
- enrich energy maps and infrastructure catalogs with source-attributed records
- support education, journalism, and research tools with power-station reference data
Access
These endpoints are served through RapidAPI. The examples below are documentation examples, not direct browser links, because requests require RapidAPI authentication headers.
