nednl 0.2.0

Gain insight into current and predictive energy data from The Netherlands

Asynchronous Python client for National Energy Dashboard NL.

About

A Python package that allows you to retrieve data via the API of the National Energy Dashboard. A data portal with datasets about the gas and electricity providing / consuming in the Netherlands.

Installation

pip install nednl

API Key

Before accessing the datasets, it's necessary to create an account on the website of NED. After you have done this, you'll be able to generate a unique API key, granting you access to the datasets.

Datasets

• All activities
• All classifications
• All granularities
• All granularity timezones
• All points
• All types
• Utilization

Currently there is a limit of 200 requests per 5 minutes.

Example

An example of how you can query the solar consumption of the Netherlands with a granularity per 10 minutes.

import asyncio

from nednl import NedNL


async def main() -> None:
    """Show example on using this package."""

    async with NedNL("YOUR_API_KEY") as client:
        response = await client.utilization(
            point_id=0,
            type_id=2,
            granularity_id=3,
            granularity_timezone_id=1,
            classification_id=2,
            activity_id=1,
            start_date="2024-03-29",
            end_date="2024-03-30",
        )
        print(response)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Setting up development environment

The simplest way to begin is by utilizing the Dev Container feature of Visual Studio Code or by opening a CodeSpace directly on GitHub. By clicking the button below you immediately start a Dev Container in Visual Studio Code.

This Python project relies on Poetry as its dependency manager, providing comprehensive management and control over project dependencies.

You need at least:

• Python 3.11+
• Poetry

Installation

Install all packages, including all development requirements:

poetry install

Poetry creates by default an virtual environment where it installs all necessary pip packages.

Pre-commit

This repository uses the pre-commit framework, all changes are linted and tested with each commit. To setup the pre-commit check, run:

poetry run pre-commit install

And to run all checks and tests manually, use the following command:

poetry run pre-commit run --all-files

Testing

It uses pytest as the test framework. To run the tests:

poetry run pytest

To update the syrupy snapshot tests:

poetry run pytest --snapshot-update
