Steps
Apply for an ISO Express account at iso-ne.com and request Web Services access; your ISO Express credentials double as HTTP Basic Auth credentials (no separate API key).
Base requests on https://webservices.iso-ne.com/api/v1.1/{endpoint}, sending Basic Auth over HTTPS.
Choose JSON or XML by appending .json/.xml to the endpoint or via an Accept header.
Query hourly/five-minute LMP via HourlyLmp/FiveMinLmp elements, load via HourlySystemLoad, and generation fuel mix via GenFuelMix.
Consult the full parameter reference spreadsheet since the HTML docs alone don't cover every query field.
Known gotchas
This is the legacy v1.1 REST API (deployed ~2013); verify whether ISO-NE has since consolidated report access onto a newer shared ISO API portal before hardcoding integrations.
Web Services account approval is manual and can lag behind ISO Express signup.
Full request/response parameter references live in a separate spreadsheet, not the HTML docs.
