octopy-energy-api 0.1.0

Async Python client library for the Octopus Energy REST API

Octopy Energy API

An async Python client library for the Octopus Energy REST API

Features

• Async API Client - Full async/await support with httpx
• Comprehensive Data Models - Fully typed Pydantic models for all API responses
• Secure - Built-in API key authentication
• Type-Safe - Complete type hints for better IDE support
• Automatic Pagination - Seamlessly fetch all pages of data

Installation

pip install octopy-energy-api

Requirements

• An Octopus Energy account and API key (if using the Account and Consumption endpoints)

Configuration

Create a .env file in your project root:

OCTOPUS_API_KEY=sk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
OCTOPUS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER=A-XXXXXXXX

Or set environment variables directly:

export OCTOPUS_API_KEY=sk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
export OCTOPUS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER=A-XXXXXXXX

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
OCTOPUS_API_KEY	Yes	-	Your Octopus Energy API key
OCTOPUS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER	Yes	-	Your account number (A-XXXXXXXX format)
OCTOPUS_API_BASE_URL	No	https://api.octopus.energy/v1	API base URL

Quick Start

import asyncio
from octopy import Octopy
from octopy.config import get_settings

async def main():
    # Load settings from environment variables or .env file
    settings = get_settings()

    # Use the client as an async context manager
    async with Octopy(settings) as client:
        # Get account information
        account = await client.get_account()
        print(f"Account Number: {account.number}")

        # Get consumption data
        property = account.properties[0]
        meter_point = property.electricity_meter_points[0]
        meter = meter_point.meters[0]

        consumption = await client.get_consumption(
            meter_point=meter_point.mpan,
            serial_number=meter.serial_number,
            fuel="electricity"
        )

        for interval in consumption.results[:5]:
            print(f"{interval.interval_start}: {interval.consumption} kWh")

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

API Coverage

Account Management

• get_account() - Get account details with properties and meter points
• get_grid_supply_point(postcode) - Get GSP region from postcode

Consumption Data

• get_consumption() - Fetch electricity or gas consumption with filtering and grouping

Products & Tariffs

• get_products() - List available products with filters
• get_product(product_code) - Get detailed product information

Pricing

• get_unit_rates() - Get electricity/gas unit rates with date filtering
• get_standing_charges() - Get daily standing charges for tariffs

All paginated endpoints support automatic pagination with auto_paginate=True (default).

Usage Examples

See the examples/ directory for complete working examples:

• fetch_account_info.py - Display account, properties, and meters
• fetch_consumption.py - Fetch consumption data with statistics
• compare_tariffs.py - Compare unit rates and standing charges across products

Data Models

All API responses are returned as fully typed Pydantic models:

• Account - Account information with properties
• Property - Property with address and meter points
• ElectricityMeterPoint / GasMeterPoint - Meter point details
• Meter - Physical meter with serial number
• Agreement - Tariff agreement with validity dates
• ConsumptionInterval - Energy consumption for a time period
• Product / ProductDetail - Energy product information
• UnitRate - Unit rate pricing
• StandingCharge - Daily standing charge
• Region - Grid Supply Point (GSP) region enum
