Actual billing and meter data from 50+ Ontario electricity, gas, and water utilities — standardized, automated, and delivered daily via REST API, keyed to any validated Ontario address.
Buyers, lenders, and property managers increasingly need actual consumption data — not estimates. Ontario's utilities have it. Until now, accessing it required separate agreements with each provider, manual retrieval, and inconsistent formats.
Electricity, natural gas, and water consumption data — all accessible through the same address-keyed endpoint, with standardized field names and consistent units across every Ontario utility.
Actual meter readings at 5-minute, 15-minute, or hourly intervals — depending on the meter type. Includes peak vs. off-peak split, total monthly consumption in kWh, and billed amount.
Monthly billing records including consumption in m³, billed amount, and rate class. Normalized across Ontario gas distributors into a single consistent schema.
Municipal water billing data where available — monthly consumption in m³, billed amount, and service address. Expanding utility coverage updated continuously.
Ontario utilities deliver energy data in the Green Button standard — but each utility implements it differently, updates their systems at different rates, and provides data in slightly different formats. Managing connections to 50+ providers independently is a serious engineering burden.
Neighbourly handles every utility connection, normalizes the data format, monitors for outages, and delivers a single consistent API response — keyed to address, refreshed daily, with two years of history available from day one.
Validate an address with the address API, then call the energy endpoint with the returned address_id. Specify commodity (electricity, gas, water) or retrieve all at once.
