# Welcome!

This portal provides a comprehensive overview of the Nibela APIs endpoints for accessing and managing electricity related services. The APIs follow [REST](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/REST) principles, and uses [OpenID](https://openid.net/developers/how-connect-works/) for authentication.

## Environments <a href="#io-environments" id="io-environments"></a>

We provide multiple environments, each with unique data access policies, and live/mocked data.

Environments are isolated from each other. Client credentials are tied to a specific environment and cannot be reused across environments.
