data-rte-python-api: A Python API wrapper for the data APIs of the RTE

data-rte-python-api is a Python API wrapper for the APIs of the RTE.

Installation

The library can be installed using pip:

pip install data-rte-python-api

Usage

You will have to register an application to get a client_id and client_secret before using any of the APIs.

from datetime import datetime

from datarteapi import BigSubstations, BaseAPIException

client = BigSubstations(client_id="your_client_id", client_secret="your_client_secret")

try:
    apiresponse = client.get_pds_data(
        start_date=datetime.fromisoformat("2017-09-01T12:00:00"),
        end_date=datetime.fromisoformat("2017-09-01T23:00:00")
    )
except BaseAPIException as e:
    # Handle the exception

print(apiresponse.data, apiresponse.headers)

Currently, only the APIs working with OAuth are available.

Date entries

Depending on the API you are using, date timezones are handled differently. If all timezones are supported by the API server, the datetime will be used as is. If only UTC is supported, timezone aware dates will be converted to UTC. For unware dates, local timezone is used before being converted to UTC.

For more details, refer to the corresponding API documentation.
