South Africa Load-Shedding Status API

What does Load-Shedding Status API do?

This actor returns the current national load-shedding stage for South Africa as clean, structured JSON, straight from Eskom's public status endpoint. Use it to power dashboards, home-automation routines, notification bots, or any app that needs to know whether the lights are about to go out — without parsing Eskom's website yourself. Running it on the Apify platform gives you an HTTP API, scheduling (e.g. every 15 minutes), webhooks, and integrations for free.

Why use it?

App developers: one stable JSON shape instead of scraping Eskom.
Ops & facilities teams: schedule it and pipe stage changes into Slack/Teams/Telegram via Apify integrations.
Home automation: trigger generator/inverter logic when the stage rises.

How to use it

Run the actor (default input is fine).
Read the dataset — one item per source queried.
Schedule it on Apify for continuous monitoring.

Input

{ "sources": ["eskom-national"] }

sources — list of status sources. This version supports eskom-national (the official national stage). Municipal-level schedules are on the roadmap.

Output

{
  "source": "eskom-national",
  "stage": 0,
  "isLoadShedding": false,
  "statusText": "No load-shedding",
  "statusRaw": "1",
  "checkedAt": "2026-07-25T18:00:00.000Z"
}

You can download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or consume it via the API.

Field	Meaning
`stage`	Current national stage (0 = none)
`isLoadShedding`	Convenience boolean
`statusRaw`	Raw value returned by Eskom (stage + 1)
`checkedAt`	UTC timestamp of the check

Automate it: Tasks + scheduling (recommended)

Stage changes matter the minute they happen — this actor is built to run on a clock:

Click Create task (default input is already correct).
Set the Schedule to every 15 minutes.
Read the latest dataset item via the API for an always-current stage endpoint your app can poll.
Use Integrations to fire a webhook or Slack/Telegram message the moment stage changes — perfect for generator/inverter automation.

Pro pattern: pair a 15-minute schedule with a webhook that only triggers when isLoadShedding flips — zero-noise outage alerts.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: a small flat fee per run plus a tiny fee per result item. A scheduled check every 15 minutes costs a few US cents per day.

Disclaimers & support

Data comes from Eskom's public, unauthenticated status endpoint; availability depends on Eskom. This actor collects no personal data. Found an issue? Use the Issues tab — responses within the Apify 14-day SLA.
