Statnett API Client
Client presents methods for reading real-time Nordic power balance data provided by the Norwegian Transmission System Operator (statnett.no).
The full list of topics accessible via Statnett REST API can be seen here.
Client supports reading of the following topics:
Installation
To install the Client, simply use pip:
$ pip install statnett_api_client
Basic Usage
from statnett_api_client import Client
# initialize parser
client = Client(fmt='pandas')
# read power flow topic and return pandas dataframe
flow = client.get('flow')Client
You can specify the format of returned object when initializing the client. By default, it will return data as json array.
client = Client()To get the data as pandas object, you need to specify fmt parameter in constructor.
Specify date2index if you want to add dates to dataframe index.
client = Client(fmt='pandas')
client = Client(fmt='pandas', date2index=True)By default, the time is in UTC. To add a column with Central European Time (CET),
you need to specify time_cet parameter.
client = Client(fmt='pandas', time_cet=True)Sometimes it can be useful to add hour column to result dataframe. It can be achieved by
specifying add_hour keyword parameter. If time_cet is True, then two columns are added,
hour_utc and hour_cet.
client = Client(fmt='pandas', time_cet=True, add_hour=True)Reading Data
After you have set the client, you can read data from supported topics.
# Nordic power flow
flow = client.get('flow')
# Nordic power balance
balance = client.get('balance')License
