What Elia Open Data (BYOK) is for

Elia Open Data (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Elia Open Data data through the Elia Open Data API with a key you supply (Elia Open Data portal API key). Read-only: 7 tools (list_datasets, get_dataset, query_records, get_record, get_dataset_facets, get_catalog_facets, list_dataset_attachments). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to opendata.elia.be. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Elia Open Data. Elia Open Data and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "Which datasets about electricity generation does the Elia Open Data portal have?"
• "What fields does the electricity generation dataset have?"
• "Show the first 20 records of the electricity generation dataset"
• "Show a single record of the electricity generation dataset by its id"
• "Which categories appear in the electricity generation dataset and how many records each?"
• "Which themes do the datasets of the Elia Open Data portal use?"

What it does

• list_datasets: List and search the datasets of the portal catalog with ODSQL filters, facet refinements, ordering and paging. Each entry carries its id, metadata and field definitions.
• get_dataset: Get one dataset's metadata and the definition of its fields (name, label, type, description).
• query_records: Query the records of a dataset with ODSQL: select fields, filter with where/refine/exclude, group and aggregate, order and page. Field names depend on the dataset (see get_dataset).
• get_record: Read one record of a dataset by its record id.
• get_dataset_facets: Enumerate the values of a dataset's facet fields with their record counts, optionally narrowed by a filter.
• get_catalog_facets: Enumerate the values of the catalog's dataset facets (themes, publishers, keywords and similar) with counts.
• list_dataset_attachments: List the files attached to a dataset (documentation, PDFs, archives) with their titles and URLs.

BYOK key

You bring your own Elia Open Data Elia Open Data portal API key (https://opendata.elia.be/account/). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to opendata.elia.be over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Elia Open Data (BYOK) is. Elia Open Data (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own Elia Open Data data: Browse and query the open datasets of the Elia (Belgian grid operator) open data portal (Opendatasoft Explore API) with your own portal API key. You bring your own Elia Open Data Elia Open Data portal API key; the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one Elia Open Data call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to opendata.elia.be, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If Elia Open Data rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs.

Elia Open Data acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer Elia Open Data gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your Elia Open Data data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. Elia Open Data (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at Elia Open Data at any time to end all access.

Children. Elia Open Data (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under Elia Open Data's own age rules.
