Query power forecast data

post

Query power forecast prediction data for renewable energy generation (Solar, Wind, etc.).

Dimensions:

• zone_key: Country/region code (e.g. "DE")

• psr_type: Generation source type (e.g. "Solar", "Wind Onshore")

Query Modes (mutually exclusive):

1. Horizon mode (init_time-centric):

   • init_times: Specific init times to query

   • latest_init_time: Use the most recent available init time

   • max_prediction_timedelta: Limit forecast horizon (minutes)

2. Time range mode (time-centric):

   • start_time / end_time: Filter by computed forecast time

Response Formats:

• json: Columnar JSON format {column: [values], ...}

• arrow: Apache Arrow IPC stream for efficient processing

Authentication: Requires API key.

Query parameters

formatstring · enumOptional

Response format: 'json' or 'arrow'

Default: jsonPossible values:

Body

application/json

Query parameters for power forecast data.

Supports two mutually exclusive query modes:

Horizon mode (init_time-centric): - Specify init_times (or latest_init_time=True) - Optionally limit by max_prediction_timedelta

Time range mode (time-centric): - Specify start_time / end_time - Computed time = init_time + prediction_timedelta * 60s

Common filters: - zone_keys: List of zone codes (e.g. ["DE", "FR"]) - psr_types: List of generation types (e.g. ["Solar", "Wind Onshore"])
