The API returns real-time data on electricity supply, demand, and prices across various regions of the National Electricity Market (NEM). This includes household prices, price percentiles, renewable energy contributions, and more.
Key fields in the response include "time_interval" (timestamp), "price_household" (household price), "price_dispatch" (dispatch price), "renewables" (percentage of renewables), and "renewables_category" (category of renewable energy).
The primary parameter for the endpoint is the state code, which can be one of the following: VIC1, NSW1, SA1, TAS1, QLD1, or NEM (for all regions). This allows users to specify the region for which they want data.
The response data is structured in JSON format, with key-value pairs representing various metrics. Each response includes a timestamp and multiple fields related to pricing and renewable energy metrics, making it easy to parse and analyze.
The data is sourced from Australia's National Electricity Market, which aggregates real-time information from electricity generators, transmitters, and distributors. This ensures that the data reflects current market conditions.
Typical use cases include market analysis, energy trading, forecasting electricity demand, and assessing the impact of renewable energy on prices. Users can leverage this data for informed decision-making in energy management.
Users can analyze the response fields to track trends in electricity prices and renewable energy contributions. For example, comparing "price_household" and "renewables" can help assess the impact of renewables on household energy costs.
Data accuracy is maintained through continuous updates from the NEM, which monitors real-time electricity generation and consumption. Regular quality checks and validations ensure that the information provided is reliable and up-to-date.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
