Asynchronous Python client for the easyEnergy API.

## About

A python package with which you can retrieve the dynamic energy/gas prices from [easyEnergy][easyenergy]. Third parties who purchase their energy via easyEnergy (as far as is known):

- [NieuweStroom](https://nieuwestroom.nl)

## Installation

```bash
pip install easyenergy
```

## Data

**note**: Currently only tested for day/tomorrow prices

You can read the following datasets with this package:

### Electricity prices

**note**: easyEnergy has separate prices for usage and return to grid, which also differ per hour.

The energy prices are different every hour, after 15:00 (more usually already at 14:00) the prices for the next day are published and it is therefore possible to retrieve these data.


- Current/Next[x] hour electricity market price (float)
- Lowest energy price (float)
- Highest energy price (float)
- Average electricity price (float)
- Time of highest price (datetime)
- Time of lowest price (datetime)
- Percentage of the current price compared to the maximum price
- Number of hours with the current price or better (int)

### Gas prices

The gas prices do not change per hour, but are fixed for 24 hours. Which means that from 06:00 in the morning the new rate for that day will be used.

- Current/Next[x] hour gas market price (float)
- Lowest gas price (float)
- Highest gas price (float)
- Average gas price (float)

## Example

```python
import asyncio

from datetime import date
from easyenergy import EasyEnergy, VatOption


async def main() -> None:
    """Show example on fetching the energy prices from easyEnergy."""
    async with EasyEnergy(vat=VatOption.INCLUDE) as client:
        start_date = date(2022, 12, 7)
        end_date = date(2022, 12, 7)

        energy = await client.energy_prices(start_date, end_date)
        gas = await client.gas_prices(start_date, end_date)


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

### Class Parameters

| Parameter | value Type | Description |
| :-------- | :--------- | :---------- |
| `vat` | enum (default: **VatOption.INCLUDE**) | Include or exclude VAT on class level |

### Function Parameters

| Parameter | value Type | Description |
| :-------- | :--------- | :---------- |
| `start_date` | datetime | The start date of the selected period |
| `end_date` | datetime | The end date of the selected period |
| `vat` | enum (default: class value) | Include or exclude VAT (**VatOption.INCLUDE** or **VatOption.EXCLUDE**) |

## Contributing

This is an active open-source project. We are always open to people who want to
use the code or contribute to it.

We've set up a separate document for our
[contribution guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).

Thank you for being involved! :heart_eyes:

## Setting up development environment

The simplest way to begin is by utilizing the [Dev Container][devcontainer]
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.

[![Open in Dev Containers][devcontainer-shield]][devcontainer]

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

You need at least:

- Python 3.11+
- [Poetry][poetry-install]

### Installation

Install all packages, including all development requirements:

```bash
poetry install
```

_Poetry creates by default an virtual environment where it installs all
necessary pip packages_.

### Pre-commit

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

```bash
poetry run pre-commit install
```

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

```bash
poetry run pre-commit run --all-files
```

### Testing

It uses [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/) as the test framework. To run the tests:

```bash
poetry run pytest
```

To update the [syrupy](https://github.com/tophat/syrupy) snapshot tests:

```bash
poetry run pytest --snapshot-update
```
