National Grid ESO — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is National Grid ESO free to use?

National Grid ESO is listed in our free catalogue and required no credential when we called it. It needs no authentication at all, so you can send a request without signing up. Free tiers can still carry rate limits or non-commercial terms, so check the provider's own terms before shipping.

Does National Grid ESO need an API key?

No. We called National Grid ESO on 2026-09-18 with no key, no token and no Authorization header, and it responded. That is what puts it in our no-key collection.

Can I call National Grid ESO from browser JavaScript?

We could not confirm CORS support for National Grid ESO. Test it from a browser before relying on it client-side; if the request succeeds in curl but fails in the console, CORS is the reason.

Is National Grid ESO still working?

Not at our last check on 2026-09-18. National Grid ESO did not respond successfully, which is why it is marked as down here. This may be temporary; we re-check on a schedule and the badge above reflects the most recent run.

Is National Grid ESO available over HTTPS?

Yes. National Grid ESO serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
