FIT price

[Rujo]

Where can I find the actual feed-in price paid to me when I am exporting electricity?
Is it correct that I must calculate it from the fields 'kwh' ,'cost' and the length of the period in /sites/{siteId}/usage ?

But where in the API can I get info about the forecast of the solar feed-in?
The information is visible on the Amber web portal under LIVE PRICE. It would be just nicer to use the API than scraping a protected website with a lot of JavaScript code. .

The prices and usage APIs will return all general and feedIn prices. There is a type attribute that you can filter on. Check out the documentation, it’s all in there. https://app.amber.com.au/developers

I've read the documewntation but it's still not 100% clear.

Is spotPerKwh the FIT?

No, perKwh attribute on a Interval of type feedIn

Ok, so I have pasted the API call response below. That would indicate a FIT of -7.5c/kW, yet the Amber App says it is 8c/kW
{
"type": "ActualInterval",
"date": "2024-03-12",
"duration": 30,
"startTime": "2024-03-12T01:30:01Z",
"endTime": "2024-03-12T02:00:00Z",
"nemTime": "2024-03-12T12:00:00+10:00",
"perKwh": -7.52666,
"renewables": 32.141999999999996,
"spotPerKwh": 7.51836,
"channelType": "feedIn",
"spikeStatus": "none",
"descriptor": "high"

Feel I still have something wrong here.

This is the API call I made.

That's correct - the app inverts the FiT, and rounds it to the nearest c. Think of it as a ledger that is relative to the grid, so the import price in this instance will be positive because it costs you money, and the export price will be negative because it makes you money.
