Usage
Current clients
The package comes with the current pandas clients:
JaoAPIClient: api client for the webservice API defined hereJaoPublicationToolClient: client for the Core Day-Ahead publication tool defined hereJaoPublicationToolPandasClient: Pandas client for the Core Day-Ahead publication tool defined hereJaoPublicationToolPandasIntraDay: client for Core Intradaypublication tool for Intraday defined hereJaoPublicationToolPandasNordics: client for Nordic Day-Ahead publication tool defined hereJaoPublicationToolPandasItalyNorth: client for Italy North publication tool defined here The publication tool clients have valid data from their respective go lives:- Core Day-Ahead: business day 2022-06-09 onwards
- Core Intraday(a): business day 2024-06-14 onwards
- Core Intraday(b): business day 2024-05-29 onwards
- Core Intraday(c): business day 2025-06-25 onwards
- Nordic Day-Ahead: business day 2024-10-30 onwards
Core Intraday a and b are combined in the same intraday client. In the initialization of the client you can choose which one you want like so:
from jao import JaoPublicationToolPandasIntraDay
client = JaoPublicationToolPandasIntraDay(version='a') # IDCC(a)
client = JaoPublicationToolPandasIntraDay(version='b') # IDCC(b)
client = JaoPublicationToolPandasIntraDay(version='c') # IDCC(c)
client = JaoPublicationToolPandasIntraDay(version='d') # IDCC(d)
Rate Limiter
JAO currently has a fixed rate limiting of 100 requests per minute, if you surpass this a HTTP 429 is returned.
The library has a naive way of handling this by sleeping for RATE_LIMIT_HANDLER seconds, which is by default 60 seconds.
If you want to disable this set RATE_LIMIT_HANDLER to 0 through environment variables and the library will throw a HTTP exception that you can handle yourself.
Experimental Features
Mirror
This package provides support for the experimental data mirror fb.amunmirror.eu.
This allows to download final and prefinal domain from the fast mirror. If the requested day is not available the package will fallback to the JAO publication tool.
To enable it either use use_mirror=True in the function call or set the environment variable JAO_USE_MIRROR=1, by default this feature is off. It is currently only available in ```query_final_domain_
Deprecated clients
The package also includes legacy clients for flowbased CWE data in the CWE subpackage. These return data up until business day 2022-06-08
JaoUtilityToolASMXClient: a very light wrapper around the ASMX Web Service API implemented as a passthrough to the suds-community pakcageJaoUtilityToolCSVClient: client to download csv data inm the same way as the utility tool excel file, returns pandas dataframesJaoUtilityToolXmlClient: downloads xml data of the utilitytool, this requires solving a captcha by the user, returns pandas dataframes
To use these deprecated clients be sure to install the following additional dependencies:
suds-community
lxml
pillow
this is only required for the CWE deprecated subpackage
