california-midasapi

A Python wrapper for the California Energy Comission (CEC)'s Market Informed Demand Automation Server (MIDAS) energy price API.
This API lets you get info about energy prices in California from utilities regulated by the CEC, which is all the big ones (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, SMUD, etc.) and some smaller municipal utilities. If you have a Rate Identification Number (RIN) QR Code on your electric bill you can use this API to get your electricity price in real time.

Usage

Create a Midas object:

from california_midasapi import Midas

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    midas = Midas(session)
asyncio.run(main())

Access the API methods using this object:

# Get basic info about all rates
from california_midasapi.ratelist import RINFilter
rates = midas.GetAvailableRates(RINFilter.TARIFF)
print(rates) # ~40k+ items at writing

# Get specific info about one rate
ratedata = midas.GetRateInfo('USCA-SMSM-AD00-0000')
print(ratedata)
# Get the currently applicable value from a rate (local filtering)
print(ratedata.GetCurrentTariffs())
