Statnett API Client

Statnett API Client

Client presents methods for reading real-time Nordic power balance data provided by the Norwegian Transmission System Operator (statnett.no).

The full list of topics accessible via Statnett REST API can be seen here.

Client supports reading of the following data:

• Nordic Power Balance
• Nordic Power Flow

Installation

To install the Client, simply use pip:

$ pip install statnett_api_client

Client initialization

Firstly, you need to initialize the client. By default, it will return data in json format. You can specify fmt parameter to receive data as pandas dataframe.

from statnett_api_client import Client

# this client will return json array
client = Client()
# this client will return pandas dataframe
client = Client(fmt='pandas')
# this client will return pandas dataframe with datetime index
client = Client(fmt='pandas', date2index=True)

By default, the time is in UTC. To add a column with Central European Time (CET), you need to specify time_cet parameter.

client = Client(fmt='pandas', time_cet=True)

Reading data

After you have set the client, you can read data from supported topics.

# read power flow 
flow = client.get('flow')
# read power balance
balance = client.get('balance')
