Energy-Charts Scraper

Pulls quarter-hourly public electricity generation by source for European countries from the Fraunhofer ISE Energy-Charts API. No login, no proxy, no browser.

Input

FieldTypeNotes
countrystringRequired. Country code, or all for Europe. Default de.
datestringOptional YYYY-MM-DD for a single day. Empty means today so far.
skipEmptySourcesbooleanDrop sources that reported nothing. Default true.

Output

Long format — one row per timestamp and source: timestamp, unixSeconds, source, megawatts, country.

Notes

  • The API returns column format, not rows. One unix_seconds array and a production_types list where each entry has its own data array aligned to the same index. This Actor joins by index into one row per reading, so a source whose series is shorter yields null readings rather than silently shifting later values onto the wrong timestamps.
  • date is optional on purpose. Left empty the API returns the current day so far, which is what the daily run wants; a hardcoded default date would go stale the day after it was written.
  • Some sources are legitimately negative — pumped storage consumption and cross-border trading both go below zero — so "has data" means non-zero, not positive.
  • An unsupported country code returns HTTP 400 with a plain-text explanation, which is surfaced in the error.
