NESO Open Data Scraper
Searches the National Energy System Operator open data portal — the GB electricity system's CKAN catalogue — for datasets on carbon intensity, demand, generation mix, constraints and balancing, with direct download links. No login, no proxy, no browser.
Input
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
query | string | Free-text search. Empty lists the whole catalogue. Default carbon intensity. |
maxItems | integer | Cap on datasets. Default 50. |
includeResources | boolean | List each dataset's files. Default true. |
Output
One row per dataset: title, name, description, organization, tags,
license, resourceCount, formats, created, lastModified, url, and
resources (name, format, url, lastModified, sizeBytes) when requested.
Notes
- Dataset descriptions contain raw HTML. CKAN stores
noteswith<br/>tags and HTML entities, which land as literal markup in a spreadsheet unless stripped, so they are cleaned to plain text here. formatis inconsistently cased across the catalogue —CSVandcsvboth appear — so formats are upper-cased before deduplication.- A file that has never been edited has
createdbut nolast_modified; the two are collapsed into onelastModifiedfield. - The
resources[].urlvalues are direct downloads, so this Actor doubles as a way to find the CSV endpoint for a NESO dataset without opening the portal. - CKAN caps
rowsat 100 per request, so a largermaxItemswalks pages viastart.
