kardashev 0.1.1

Python client for the Kardashev Labs energy data API

kardashev

Python client for the Kardashev Labs energy data API — a free, open energy data platform covering LMP prices, grid load, fuel mix, carbon intensity, curtailment, interconnection queues, and more across all major US ISOs.

Install

pip install kardashev

Quick start

from kardashev import Client

kl = Client()

# Live fuel mix for CAISO
fuel = kl.fuel_mix(iso="CAISO")

# Real-time LMP hub prices for MISO
prices = kl.lmp(iso="MISO", market="RT", limit=50)

# Carbon intensity (lbs CO₂/MWh) for ERCOT
carbon = kl.carbon(iso="ERCOT")

# All nodes with latest LMP for the map view
nodes = kl.lmp_map(iso="PJM", market="RT")
