elia-opendata 1.1.0

Python Client for Elia Open Data

Elia OpenData Python Package

This package provides a Python interface to the Elia OpenData API, allowing users to easily access and process data related to electricity consumption, production, and other metrics from Elia, the Belgian transmission system operator.

The package includes functionality to fetch data for specific datasets, filter by date ranges, and handle the data in a flexible manner, allowing for both raw JSON based data and more user-friendly dataframees using pandas or polars.

The package is in active development and we would love your feedback! If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please open an issue on our GitHub repository.
