This repo contains a Node.js script which automates the retreival of realtime usage data from the ConEd opower.com API. The data is returned as a JSON file which can then be processed further as part of a data pipeline. This repo does not do much with the retreived data as of yet, and is instead intended to help others as a jumping-off point for their projects.
In order to run the script you must have a recent version of Node.js installed. Then use the following instructions to start retreiving your data!
Install the deps:
npm install

EMAIL=test@test.com
PASSWORD=correcthorsebatterystaple
MFA_SECRET=youranswerhere
ACCOUNT_ID=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
METER_NUM=XXXXXXX
Run the script and use the JSON file output for whatever you need!
node index.js
