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.

https://api.rewiringamerica.orgQuery and aggregate results of Rewiring America's health impacts modeling data.
Rewiring America's health impacts research models the health and air quality benefits of residential electrification. This endpoint allows users to filter data by county, state, and upgrade options to return health and air quality benefits. It aggregates data based on specified pollutant and health-related metrics and provides the option to disaggregate results by specific housing characteristics enumerated below. Results describe the total annual benefit to the continental US.
Example Python Code
import requests
# Define the API endpoint
url = "https://api.rewiringamerica.org/api/v1/health_impacts/"
# Define the query parameters
params = {
"metrics": "pm25-pri_kg_delta",
"upgrade": "hp_dryer",
"county_fips": "*",
"state": "NY"
}
# Define the headers with correct Authorization scheme
headers = {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR TOKEN HERE"
}
# Send the GET request
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=params)
# Check the response status and print the result
if response.status_code == 200:
print("Success:", response.json())
else:
print("Error:", response.status_code, response.text)
Authorization
The Authorization header is used to authenticate with the API using your API key. Value is of the format Bearer YOUR_KEY_HERE.
metrics
A list of pollutant emissions metrics or economic valuations to aggregate.
Valid inputs:
pm25-pri_kg_delta: Change in primary PM2.5 emissions (kg)nh3_kg_delta: Change in ammonia emissions (kg)nox_kg_delta: Change in emissions of oxides of nitrogen (kg)voc_kg_delta: Change in emissions of volatile organic compounds (kg)so2_kg_delta: Change in emissions of sulfur dioxide (kg)premature_mortality_incidence_delta: Avoided premature mortalitypremature_mortality_valuation_dollars_delta: Avoided societal costs associated with avoided premature mortality (USD)upgrade

A list of two-letter state abbreviations to filter by.
NOTE: An empty state input will yield results for all states, disaggregated by state.
county_fips
A list of three-digit county FIPS codes to filter by or a * to indicate all counties. A list can be found here. If a specific county FIPS code is input a specific state abbreviation must also be input.
NOTE: The parameter requires the last three digits of the FIPS code, not the first two which correspond to the state.
groupby
A list of housing characteristics by which results can be further disaggregated.
Valid values:
in_sqft_bin: Group by square footage binsacs_housing_type: Group by housing type (e.g., single-family, multi-family)in_hvac_cooling_type: Group by HVAC cooling typebaseline_appliance_fuel: Group by baseline appliance fuel typeupgrade_option: Group by the upgrade option applied1

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.Authorization
