entsoe-api-node

Unofficial API wrapper for the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform RESTful API.

Why this wrapper

The API responses from the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform are formatted in XML, which may not be easily consumable in JavaScript applications. This wrapper transforms the response into the more compatible JSON format.

• ENTSO-E Transparency Platform
• Transparency Platform API spec.

npm i entsoe-api-node

Getting started

To use this wrapper, you must first register with the Transparency Platform and request access to the RESTful API by sending an email to transparency@entsoe.eu with 'Restful API access' in the subject line. Be sure to include the email address you used during registration in the email body. Once granted access, you can then generate a security token under the account settings.

import Entsoe, { BiddingZonesByCountry } from "entsoe-api-node";

const client = Entsoe({ apiToken: "YOUR-SECURITY-TOKEN" });

const result = await client.dayAheadPrices({
  startDate: new Date().toISOString(),
  biddingZone: BiddingZonesByCountry.SE4,
});

Require using commonjs.

const Enstoe = require("entsoe-api-node").default;

Initialize

Param	Type	Required	Info
apiToken	String	true
testnet	Boolean	false	For testing purpose only

Code examples

The /example folder contains code examples on how to use the API methods. You can try out these examples by running the following command:

npm run example:dev -- example/example-file.js

Public REST Endpoints

Time is always expressed in UTC.

Each method accepts an optional second parameter to customize the XML response.

Automatically throttle if the limit of 400 requests per minute is reached.

console.log(await client.dayAheadPrices({ biddingZone: "10Y1001A1001A47J" }, (xmlString) async => /* parse the XML and return some magic */));

dayAheadPrices

Get the published day-ahead prices for given bidding zone. The result always includes 24 hours of data, starting from midnight local time of the specified bidding zone.

console.log(
  await client.dayAheadPrices({
    startDate: new Date().toISOString(),
    biddingZone: "10Y1001A1001A47J",
  }),
);

Param	Type	Required	Default	Info
biddingZone	String	true		Check out the utility BiddingZonesByCountry for available zones/areas.
startDate	String	true		ISO 8601 formated date string
endDate	String	false	startDate + next day	ISO 8601 formated date string

• One year range limit applies
• Minimum time interval between startDate and endDate is one day

Miscellaneous

Bidding zones

An utility bidding zone map is also being exported by the package in order for you to make readable request while using the API.

import { BiddingZonesByCountry } from "entsoe-api-node";

console.log(
  await client.dayAheadPrices({ biddingZone: BiddingZonesByCountry.SE4 }),
);
