mijn-ista-api

Async Python client for the mijn.ista.nl energy monitoring portal.

Installation

pip install mijn-ista-api

Requirements

• Python 3.12+
• aiohttp 3.9+

Usage

import asyncio
import aiohttp
from mijn_ista_api import MijnIstaAPI, MijnIstaAuthError, MijnIstaConnectionError

async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        api = MijnIstaAPI(session, "[e-mail]", "your-password", lang="nl-NL")

        # Authenticate (obtains JWT)
        await api.authenticate()

        # Fetch account + annual comparison data
        user_data = await api.get_user_values()
        for cus in user_data.get("Cus", []):
            cuid = cus["Cuid"]
            print(cus.get("Adress"), cus.get("City"))

            # Full monthly history (polls until all shards are loaded)
            month_data = await api.get_month_values(cuid)

            # Building averages for the current billing year
            periods = cus.get("curConsumption", {}).get("BillingPeriods", [])
            if periods:
                p = sorted(periods, key=lambda x: x["y"], reverse=True)[0]
                avg_data = await api.get_consumption_averages(
                    cuid, p["s"][:10], p["e"][:10]
                )

asyncio.run(main())

API overview

Method	Endpoint	Description
authenticate()	POST /api/Authorization/Authorize	Obtain JWT
get_user_values()	POST /api/Values/UserValues	Account info, annual comparison
get_month_values(cuid)	POST /api/Consumption/MonthValues	Full monthly history (auto-polls shards)
get_consumption_values(cuid, billing_period)	POST /api/Values/ConsumptionValues	Meter totals for one billing year
get_consumption_averages(cuid, start, end)	POST /api/Values/ConsumptionAverages	Building-wide normalised averages

Error handling

from mijn_ista_api import MijnIstaAuthError, MijnIstaConnectionError

try:
    await api.authenticate()
except MijnIstaAuthError:
    # Bad credentials
    ...
except MijnIstaConnectionError:
    # Network error or API unavailable
    ...

Notes

• The JWT is passed in the request body, not as an Authorization header.
• Every API response returns a refreshed JWT; the client handles this automatically.
• get_month_values polls until the server has loaded all data shards (the API streams results).
• Transient 425 Too Early / 503 Service Unavailable responses are retried with exponential backoff.
