**elexonpy** is a Python package that provides a convenient interface to the [ELEXON API](https://developer.data.elexon.co.uk/).

This package is generated using Swagger Codegen, ensuring compatibility and ease of use with the ELEXON API services.


## Installation

You can install the `elexonpy` package via pip from PyPI.

```shell
pip install elexonpy
```

## Examples usage

There are some examples in the `examples` directory that demonstrate how to use the package to retrieve data from the Elexon API.

### Example 1: Demand

This example demonstrates how to use methods from the `DemandApi` to retrieve various types of 
demand data from the Elexon API and format it into a DataFrame.


```python
# This script demonstrates the use of methods from the DemandApi
# to retrieve various types of demand data from the Elexon API.

from datetime import datetime
import pandas as pd
from elexonpy.api_client import ApiClient
from elexonpy.api.demand_api import DemandApi

# Initialize API client
api_client = ApiClient()
demand_api = DemandApi(api_client)

# Define date range for Actual Total Load Data
from_date = datetime(2024, 7, 1)
to_date = datetime(2024, 7, 2)

# Fetch Actual Total Load Data from API
df = demand_api.demand_actual_total_get(
    _from=from_date,
    to=to_date,
    settlement_period_from=1,
    settlement_period_to=48,
    format='dataframe'
)

# Print Actual Total Load Data DataFrame
print("\n--- Actual Total Load Data ---")
print(df.head())
```

### Example 2: SIP price

This example demonstrates how to use methods from the `IndicativeImbalanceSettlementApi` 
to retrieve settlement system prices data from the Elexon API and format it into a DataFrame.


<details><summary> Example 2 </summary>

```python
# This script demonstrates the use of methods from the IndicativeImbalanceSettlementApi
# to retrieve settlement system prices data from the Elexon API.


from datetime import datetime
import pandas as pd
from elexonpy.api_client import ApiClient
from elexonpy.api.indicative_imbalance_settlement_api import IndicativeImbalanceSettlementApi

## Initialize API client
api_client = ApiClient()
imbalance_settlement_api = IndicativeImbalanceSettlementApi(api_client)

# Define settlement date
settlement_date = '2024-07-02'

# Fetch system prices data from API
df = imbalance_settlement_api.balancing_settlement_system_prices_settlement_date_get(
    settlement_date=settlement_date,
    format='dataframe'
)

# Print DataFrame
print("\n--- Settlement System Prices Data ---")
print(df.head())
```

</details>



### Example 3 : DA Solar and Wind Forecast

This example demonstrates how to use methods from the `GenerationForecastApi` to retrieve 
day-ahead forecast data for wind and solar generation from the Elexon API and format it into a DataFrame.

<details><summary> Example 3 </summary>

```python
# This script demonstrates the use of methods from the GenerationForecastApi
# to retrieve day-ahead forecast data for wind and solar generation from the Elexon API.

from datetime import datetime
import pandas as pd
from elexonpy.api_client import ApiClient
from elexonpy.api.generation_forecast_api import GenerationForecastApi

# Initialize API client
api_client = ApiClient()
forecast_api = GenerationForecastApi(api_client)

# Define date range for fetching day-ahead wind and solar forecast data
from_date = datetime(2024, 7, 1)
to_date = datetime(2024, 7, 7)  # Note: Maximum data output range is 7 days

# Fetch day-ahead forecast data for wind and solar from API
df = forecast_api.forecast_generation_wind_and_solar_day_ahead_get(
    _from=from_date,
    to=to_date,
    process_type='day ahead',
    format='dataframe'
)

# Print DataFrame
print("\n--- Day-Ahead Wind and Solar Forecast Data ---")
print(df.head())
```

</details>


## Documentation 

### API Endpoints

Documentation for the API Endpoints can be found [here](./docs/DocApiEndpointsList.md)

### Models
Documentation for the Models can be found [here](./docs/DocModelsList.md)

### Authorization

 All endpoints do not require authorization.


##  FAQ

### How do I get an API key?

You dont need one. The Elexon API does not require an API key for access.

### How do I get a year worth of data?

You currently have to write a loop yourself. We hope to incorporate this into the package in the future.

## Development

To install the package directly from the GitHub repository, use the following command:

```shell
 pip install git+https://github.com/openclimatefix/Elexonpy.git
```

### Tests

To run the tests, make sure you have `pytest` installed
```bash
pip install pytest
```
and then you can run
```bash
pytest
```
