SDG&E Customer Personal Energy Usage Metadata and data set are different

I e-mailed the address given on Friday and have not heard back yet. The metadata and the data set provided are different (data set missing many of the fields the metadata provides).

As I am not an SDG&E customer, I cannot get a report from my account to see what I am really provided. Anyone know if the dataset was accidentally scrubbed too much and more info should be provided or if the metadata they linked to is not what they actually provide?

Also will there be an API we can get the data from or will the customer have to manually download and upload it every time?

    The e-mail address for support on the data page: greenbuttonsupport@sdge.com

    Just got a reply from them :) The Metadata is incorrect (currently). This is a 1st release for them, so they do not have all of the information that is in the Metadata in their own data set.

    How about the answer to the question about whether there will be an API available or will the user have to download/upload their data each time they want an analysis?

    Thanks Marny! I've been passing around the sdappschallenge.com site to my developer friends. I hope to get some more people looking into this.

    Cheers,

    So if you create a app that uses the green button api the user has to already have given permission? How would you actually tell the api that they have given permission? Is there a user name and password involved.

    Hi Chrysa,

    The http://dev.tendrilinc.com/docs/greenbutton only allows you to view a small portion of the total data.

    How can you download all of it?
    Thanks
