PyGazpar

$\text{\color{red}{!!! This library is broken since CAPTCHA is mandatory on GrDF site !!!}}$

PyGazpar is a Python library for getting natural gas consumption from GrDF French provider.

Their natural gas meter is called Gazpar. It is wireless and transmit the gas consumption once per day.

All consumption data is available on the client account at GrDF Web Site (https://monespace.grdf.fr).

PyGazpar automatically goes through the Web Site and download the consumption data, and make it available in a Python structure.

Installation

Requirements

PyGazpar does not require Selenium and corresponding geckodriver to work.

With the new GrDF web site, it is possible to load the consumption data far easily than before.

Create your virtual environment

$ cd /path/to/my_project_folder/

$ python -m venv .venv

PyGazpar installation

Activate your virtual environment.

source .venv/bin/activate

Use the package manager pip to install PyGazpar.

pip install pygazpar

You can also download the source code and install it manually.

cd /path/to/pygazpar/
python setup.py install

Usage

Command line:

1. Standard usage (using Json GrDF API).

$ pygazpar -u 'your login' -p 'your password' -c 'your PCE identifier' --datasource 'json'

2. Alternate usage (using Excel GrDF document).

$ pygazpar -u 'your login' -p 'your password' -c 'your PCE identifier' -t 'temporary directory where to store Excel file (ex: /tmp)' --datasource 'excel'

3. Test usage (using local static data files, do not connect to GrDF site).

$ pygazpar -u 'your login' -p 'your password' -c 'your PCE identifier' --datasource 'test'

Library:

1. Standard usage (using Json GrDF API).

import pygazpar

client = pygazpar.Client(pygazpar.JsonWebDataSource(
    username='your login',
    password='your password')
)

data = client.loadSince(pceIdentifier='your PCE identifier',
                        lastNDays=60,
                        frequencies=[pygazpar.Frequency.DAILY, pygazpar.Frequency.MONTHLY])

See samples/jsonSample.py file for the full example.

2. Alternate usage (using Excel GrDF document).

import pygazpar

client = pygazpar.Client(pygazpar.ExcelWebDataSource(
    username='your login',
    password='your password')
)

data = client.loadSince(pceIdentifier='your PCE identifier',
                        lastNDays=60,
                        frequencies=[pygazpar.Frequency.DAILY, pygazpar.Frequency.MONTHLY])

See samples/excelSample.py file for the full example.

3. Test usage (using local static data files, do not connect to GrDF site).

import pygazpar

client = pygazpar.Client(pygazpar.TestDataSource())

data = client.loadSince(pceIdentifier='your PCE identifier',
                        lastNDays=10,
                        frequencies=[pygazpar.Frequency.DAILY, Frequency.MONTHLY])

See samples/testSample.py file for the full example.

Output:

Limitation

PyGazpar relies on how GrDF Web Site is built.

Any change in the Web site may break this library.

We expect in close Future that GrDF makes available an open API from which we can get safely their data.
