Rewiring America Incentives API

Rewiring America’s API offers comprehensive, up-to-date information about electrification incentive programs and eligibility.

We are actively developing the "v1" revision of this API. It currently powers our incentives calculator, and we aim for it to be suitable for inclusion in third-party applications.

The "v0" of this API is still available, but deprecated; we plan to remove it in the near future, and new applications should not use it.

To generate an API key, click on the "Sign In" button. You can also use this link to sign up if needed.

If you have feedback, or if you've stumbled across this page by accident and you'd like to learn more, reach out to us at api@rewiringamerica.org.

Usage of the API is governed by our API Terms of Service (including our API Guidelines and Acceptable Use Policy) and our Privacy Policy.

Get state rollout status

For each state and territory (and Washington, DC), return the development status of its state-, utility-, and local-level incentive data. (Note that federal-level incentive data is available regardless of location.)

The response's keys are two-letter state or territory codes, as defined by the US Postal Service. The response includes all 50 states, Washington DC, and the territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

In each key's value, the possible status properties are:

  • none: state, local, and utility (SLU) incentives for the state are not in the API at all.
  • beta: SLU incentives have not been fully vetted, and will be returned from /api/v1/calculator only if the include_beta_states request parameter is true.
  • launched: SLU incentives are fully vetted and returned in the API.
