Input

Field Type Default Description
datasetName string DayAheadPrices Which dataset to fetch (see table above)
startDate string (empty) Filter from this datetime: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm e.g. 2026-01-01T00:00. Leave empty for no lower bound
endDate string (empty) Filter up to this datetime: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm. Leave empty for no upper bound
sortOrder string DESC DESC = newest first, ASC = oldest first
maxItems integer 10 Maximum records to return. Datasets have millions of records — use date filters

Example: Day-Ahead Prices for one month

Use Cases

  • Energy trading desks — Pull wholesale prices and balancing market data for spread analysis and real-time position tracking
  • Battery / V2G operators — Monitor FCR, aFRR, mFRR clearing prices to optimize charging schedules and bid frequency reserve markets
  • Cleantech investors — Track wind/solar penetration and cross-border exchange patterns to evaluate grid integration
  • Grid decarbonisation researchers — Hourly CO2 intensity + generation mix + exchange data for lifecycle analysis
  • Industrial PPA hedgers — Correlate industrial consumption patterns with wholesale price volatility

Notes

  • Date filters: Required for large datasets. Without a date range, maxItems limits results from the most recent records.
  • Elspotprices is discontinued: Data stops at 2025-09-30. Use DayAheadPrices for live market data.
  • PowerSystemRightNow: 5-minute intervals produce ~288 records/day per area — use tight date ranges.
  • No proxy needed: Public government API with no rate limiting for normal usage.
