Access time-series smart meter data using the GridLive API.
The GridLive API is available at api.gridlive.sheffield.ac.uk and detailed documentation is available online.
To get access to the GridLive API, e-mail Edwin Brown at w.e.brown at sheffield.ac.uk.
The API is has two main end points:
the /smart_meter/ end point provides access to time-series smart meter energy consumption data; and
the /esa_metadata/ end point describes the electricty supply areas for which time energy consumption data is available.
Each of these in turn has the following:
the / end point which returns all data;
the /esa/{esa_id} end point which returns data for a given Electricity Supply Area;
the /license_area/{license_area} end point which returns all data within a given License Area;
the /dno/{dno} end point which returns all data for a given Distribution Network Operator;
the /in/{grid_reference} end point which returns all data within an UK Ordnance Survey Grid Reference; and
the /near/{grid_reference} end point which returns all data within a given radius of the centre of an UK Ordnance Survey Grid Reference.
To help relate Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) to their License Areas (LAs), a set of four end points are also supplied:
the /license_area/ end point provides a list of LAs;
the /license_area/{dno} end point provides a list of LAs for a given DNO;
the /dno/ end point provides a list of DNOs; and
the /dno/{license_area} end point provide the DNO of a given LA.
