energyzero

Asynchronous Python client for the EnergyZero API.

About

A python package with which you can retrieve the dynamic energy/gas prices from EnergyZero and can therefore also be used for third parties who purchase their energy via EnergyZero, such as:

• ANWB Energie
• Energie van Ons
• GroeneStroomLokaal
• Mijndomein Energie
• SamSam
• ZonderGas

Installation

pip install energyzero

Data

note: Currently only tested for day/tomorrow prices

You can read the following datasets with this package:

Electricity prices

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)
• Average electricity price (float)
• Lowest energy price (float)
• Highest energy 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 lower (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)
• Average gas price (float)
• Lowest gas price (float)
• Highest gas price (float)

Example

import asyncio

from datetime import date
from energyzero import EnergyZero, VatOption


async def main() -> None:
    """Show example on fetching the energy prices from EnergyZero."""
    async with EnergyZero(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())

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.

Thank you for being involved! 😍

Setting up development environment

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

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

You need at least:

• Python 3.11+
• Poetry

Install all packages, including all development requirements:

poetry install

Poetry creates by default an virtual environment where it installs all necessary pip packages, to enter or exit the venv run the following commands:

poetry shell
exit

Setup the pre-commit check, you must run this inside the virtual environment:

pre-commit install

Now you're all set to get started!

As this repository uses the pre-commit framework, all changes are linted and tested with each commit. You can run all checks and tests manually, using the following command:

poetry run pre-commit run --all-files

To run just the Python tests:

poetry run pytest

To update the syrupy snapshot tests:

poetry run pytest --snapshot-update
