The OpenCharges API is currently in Beta.

OpenCharges API Endpoints

View the OpenAPI specification file

​
Authentication

All API endpoints are authenticated using Bearer tokens and picked up from the specification file. 
curl --request GET \
  --url https://app.opencharges.com/api/v1/{resource} \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer {token}'

​
Request Units (RU)

All endpoints have the Request Units (RU) concept. The calculation for utilization is as follows:
  • An API request counts as a single RU
  • Then, add the number of records returned by the above request
For example, a single GET request for the NPIs endpoint that returns 20 NPIs will count as a total of 21 RUs. 1 for the request itself, and 20 for the number of records returned. This is to incentivise bulk or chunking of the requests to return as much data as possible in a single request.

​
Rate Limits

Rate limits are based on the “Team”, not the API Token being used.
