This application programming interface provides efficiency incentive information across the United States. Consumable responses are returned in JSON format, containing detailed information on utility-based rebate programs.
Whether it is LED lighting, a new boiler, or a premium efficiency motor, efficient equipment consumes less energy. However, the most energy efficient products on the market are often too cost prohibitive. This API aims to solve this problem.
The data for this project has been sourced from a variety of venues that publish energy efficiency incentive information. The data has been linked to geographic data to help resolve the mystery about rebates in your area.
There are many ways to consume this API. The rebate_info database is fairly large and can be queried twenty (20) records at a time. The top-level schema can help give the user an overview of what data is available
Take a look under the hood, or better yet, take a crack at improving the source code! This is an open source project using the Django framework with a PostgreSQL backend... and a few other things.
