Overview
UtilityAPI’s Green Button Proxy Data Access Method offers an alternative way to access Southern California Edison (SCE) customer utility data in the same format as our other data access methods and is not impacted by SCE’s multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements.
Meter, Bill, and Interval data are available through Green Button Proxy. Copies of bill PDFs are not available through Green Button Proxy. Interested in using Green Button Proxy with your SCE customers? Contact sales@utilityapi.com
