How to use

• Install from pip

  pip install cez-distribution-data-fetcher
  

• Use get_energy_measurements() function

  from datetime import datetime, timedelta
  
  from cez_distribuce_data_fetcher import get_energy_measurements, offset
  
  today = datetime.now()
  yesterday = today - timedelta(days=1)
  
  pnd_device = "ELM 777777"
  pnd_password = "SECRET"
  pnd_user = "USERNAME"
  
  measurements = get_energy_measurements(
      from_time=offset(target_time=yesterday),
      pnd_device=pnd_device,
      pnd_password=pnd_password,
      pnd_user=pnd_user,
      to_time=offset(target_time=today),
  )
  for date, from_grid, to_grid in measurements:
      print(f"date: {date} | from_grid: {from_grid} | to_grid: {to_grid}")
  

API

get_energy_measurements()

This function gets energy consumption and energy creation measurements from ČEZ Distribuce PND. It returns tuple with date, from grid and to grid measurements.

Following parameters are available:

To see more about how to configure Selenium, check out How to configure Selenium section.

offset()

Data availabe in the ČEZ Distribuce Portal are not live. They have 8-9 hours offset. This function is a helper utility to set this offset for provided from_time and to_time parameters.

How to configure Selenium

As ČEZ Distribuce Portal does not offer publicly accesible API, the Selenium framework is used to scrape the data. Selenium needs a browser to work (only Chromium is supported). There are two methods available:

1. Remote (recommended)

   • Use docker-selenium to start Selenium browser in a container.

     docker run --rm -it -p 4444:4444 -p 5900:5900 -p 7900:7900 --shm-size 2g selenium/standalone-chromium:latest
     

   • Set remote_connection to True and optionally update selenium_url (defaults to http://localhost:4444).

2. Local

   • Set remote_connection to False (default value) and optionally update selenium_driver path (defaults to chromedriver).
   • Chromedriver binaries are available here.
