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 topics:

• Nordic Power Balance
• Nordic Power Flow

Installation

To install the Client, simply use pip:

$ pip install statnett_api_client

Basic Usage

from statnett_api_client import Client
# initialize parser
client = Client(fmt='pandas')
# read power flow topic and return pandas dataframe 
flow = client.get('flow')

Client

You can specify the format of returned object when initializing the client. By default, it will return data as json array.

client = Client()

To get the data as pandas object, you need to specify fmt parameter in constructor. Specify date2index if you want to add dates to dataframe index.

client = Client(fmt='pandas')
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.

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