Works with your own National Grid US My Account account. Fous is an independent product.

## What you can build on My Account

### Get bill and payment history

Reads View Bills, the bill and payment history for one account, with each bill's amount and due date and each payment received.

- Takes: Account number, since date (optional)
- Returns: Bill date, billing period, amount, due date, payment date, payment amount

### Check the amount due on every account

Reads Account Overview for each account on your profile: the current balance, when it is due and the last payment made.

- Takes: Nothing
- Returns: Account number, service address, amount due, due date, last payment date, last payment amount

### Get monthly electric usage and cost

Reads Track Usage for one account: electric usage and cost for each billing period in the range you ask for.

- Takes: Account number, number of months
- Returns: Billing period, usage in kWh, cost, days in period

### Pay a bill from a bank account

Opens Pay Bill for one account, chooses Pay by Bank Account, enters the amount and date, and submits the payment.

- Takes: Account number, amount, payment date
- Returns: Account number, amount, payment date, confirmation number

## Automate My Account with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

### New bills on every account, before they are due

Starts: Every weekday at 7:00

1. Check Account Overview for the amount due and due date on every account on your profile.
2. Keep the accounts whose amount due changed since the last run.
3. Email you the list with account number, service address, amount due and due date.

### Bills handed to accounts payable, account by account

Starts: Every Monday at 8:00

1. For each account you name, get the bill and payment history for the last 31 days.
2. Keep the bills that were not there on the last run.
3. Post each bill, with account number, billing period, amount and due date, to your ERP webhook.

### Monthly electric usage report for every site

Starts: On the 5th of every month at 9:00

1. For each account you name, get electric usage and cost for the last 2 months.
2. Have an AI step compare the latest billing period with the one before, site by site.
3. Email you the report with usage in kWh, cost and the change for each account.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

## Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get bill and payment history” would look like.

Example request:

```
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "myaccount.nationalgrid.com/get_bill_and_payment_history",
    "input": {
      "account_number": "48210-37615",
      "since": "2026-08-01"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "account_number": "48210-37615",
    "bills": [
      {
        "bill_date": "2026-10-14",
        "billing_period": {
          "from": "2026-09-12",
          "to": "2026-10-11"
        },
        "amount": 4182.37,
        "due_date": "2026-11-07"
      }
    ],
    "payments": [
      {
        "payment_date": "2026-10-06",
        "amount": 4710.05
      }
    ],
    "currency": "USD"
  }
}
```

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

## My Account’s own options

National Grid offers Green Button Connect: you can authorize registered third parties to receive your account, billing, smart meter interval and rate data, or get your own data by API in XML or JSON or as CSV and XML files. Paying bills and viewing or downloading the bills themselves happen in My Account, and in the free My Business Account portal for several accounts.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Green Button Connect for third parties | Historical and ongoing account, billing, smart meter interval and rate data, sent to a provider you authorize in Manage my data. | The third party registers and National Grid reviews it. You authorize the connection while signed in, and can disconnect it at any time. |
| Green Button Connect for your own data | Your own historical and ongoing data by API in XML or JSON, or as CSV and XML files from a low-code dashboard, in Green Button format. | A National Grid online account. National Grid's Upstate New York pages describe it. |
| My Business Account | All your accounts on one dashboard: group, filter, search and sort, analyze usage, view or download bills, see billing history and pay for all accounts. | Free for any National Grid customer with active accounts. Same credentials as an existing online profile. |
| My Account by hand | Account Overview, View Bills, Pay Bill, Track Usage and Account Settings. | An online profile, created with the account number and the phone number on the account. |

## Signing in to My Account

My Account signs you in with your email address and password on National Grid's own sign-in page, with a Remember me option. My Business Account uses the same credentials. With Fous you sign in once through that page with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, code and AI agents never see it, and an expired session is signed back in.

## Worth knowing

- **Several accounts have their own portal**: My Business Account shows every account on one dashboard and lets you pay for all of them. It is free, open to any customer with active accounts, and takes the same sign-in as My Account.
- **A first profile needs the phone on the account**: To create a profile for the first time you need the account number and access to the phone number associated with that account. Plan this before you hand an account over to automation.
- **Card payments go through Western Union**: Paying by credit card goes through Western Union, and fees apply. Pay by Bank Account is the other option in the menu, and the one to build a payment method on.
- **Smart meter data goes through Green Button**: Smart meter interval data is part of Green Button Connect. Third parties must register and be reviewed by National Grid before you can authorize a connection to them.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does National Grid My Account have an API?

Partly. Green Button Connect gives your own account, billing, smart meter interval and rate data by API in XML or JSON, or as CSV and XML files, and sends it to third parties you authorize. Paying bills and viewing or downloading the bills themselves stay in My Account and My Business Account.

### How do I see all my National Grid accounts in one place?

Use My Business Account, National Grid's free portal for several accounts. It groups, filters and sorts your accounts and lets you pay for all of them. With Fous, a workflow can also loop over your account numbers on a schedule and email you or post the results to a webhook.

### Can I share my National Grid usage data with energy management software?

Yes, if the provider is registered for Green Button Connect. Sign in, open Manage my data, choose Connect data with a third party and pick the provider from the directory. You can disconnect it at any time.

### What do I need to register for online access?

Your National Grid account number and access to the phone number associated with that account. If you already have an online profile, the same email address and password work in My Business Account.

### Is Fous affiliated with National Grid?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own National Grid online account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of National Grid US My Account (National Grid). The name is used only to say which system this page is about. Something here wrong or out of date? Write to legal@fous.com.
