⚡ Elering Nord Pool Electricity Prices Scraper

🚀 Pull Baltic and Finnish day-ahead power prices in one run. Get Nord Pool spot prices for Estonia, Finland, Latvia, and Lithuania straight from the public Elering dashboard, with no key or login.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-08 · 📊 8 fields per record · 4 bidding zones · day-ahead spot market

Turn the Elering dashboard into a clean, structured price feed you can drop into a trading model, a billing engine, or an energy dashboard. Choose a date range and the bidding zones you care about, and get one tidy record per price point per zone with the timestamp and the price in EUR/MWh.

Coverage is the Nord Pool day-ahead spot market as Elering publishes it for the Baltic and Finnish bidding zones: Estonia (ee), Finland (fi), Latvia (lv), and Lithuania (lt). Elering reports prices for recent days and history at the resolution the market uses, currently 15 minute intervals, so a single day returns close to a hundred price points per zone.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Energy traders and analysts	Line up zone prices for spread and arbitrage analysis
Utilities and retailers	Feed billing and tariff models with spot prices
Smart home and EV developers	Schedule loads for the cheapest hours
Researchers and data teams	Study Baltic and Nordic power market behavior

📋 What the Elering Nord Pool Prices Scraper does

This Actor calls the public Elering dashboard API and returns one clean record per price point for each bidding zone you request:

• Zone — the bidding zone code and a readable country name.
• Time — both an ISO timestamp and the raw unix timestamp for the price interval.
• Price — the Nord Pool day-ahead spot price in EUR/MWh, plus a convenience value in EUR/kWh.

You pick the date range, choose any mix of the four zones, and cap how many records come back. Every record carries a scrapedAt timestamp.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Description
start	string	Start of the date range, inclusive. A date like 2026-06-06 or a full ISO timestamp. Defaults to the previous full day.
end	string	End of the date range, exclusive. A date like 2026-06-07 or a full ISO timestamp. Defaults to the start of the current day.
zones	array	Which bidding zones to include. Any of ee, fi, lv, lt. Empty means all four.
maxItems	integer	How many records to return. Free plan is capped at 10.

Example 1 — one day, all four zones

{
    "start": "2026-06-06",
    "end": "2026-06-07",
    "zones": ["ee", "fi", "lv", "lt"],
    "maxItems": 400
}

Example 2 — Estonia only, a single day

{
    "start": "2026-06-06",
    "end": "2026-06-07",
    "zones": ["ee"],
    "maxItems": 100
}

⚠️ Good to Know: Elering reports Nord Pool prices at the market resolution, currently 15 minute intervals, so one day returns roughly 97 price points per zone. Future hours appear only after the day-ahead auction clears, so a range that runs past the published horizon returns fewer points. Records are interleaved across the zones you request, so a small maxItems still gives you a balanced cross-zone sample.

📊 Output

Each record looks like this:

Field	Description
🌍 zone	Bidding zone code (ee, fi, lv, lt)
🏳 zoneName	Readable country name
🕰 isoTime	Price interval start as an ISO 8601 UTC timestamp
⏱ unixTimestamp	Same interval as a unix timestamp in seconds
💶 priceEurMwh	Nord Pool day-ahead spot price in EUR/MWh
💡 priceEurKwh	Same price converted to EUR/kWh
🕒 scrapedAt	Collection timestamp
❌ error	Null on success

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an Elering or Nord Pool account? No. The Actor reads the public Elering dashboard API, which needs no login.

Do I need an API key? No key is required.

Which zones can I pull? Estonia (ee), Finland (fi), Latvia (lv), and Lithuania (lt). Pick any mix with the zones input.

What does the price represent? The Nord Pool day-ahead spot price for that bidding zone and interval, in EUR/MWh. A EUR/kWh value is included for convenience.

Why are there so many records per day? Elering reports prices at the market resolution, currently 15 minute intervals, so a single day is roughly 97 points per zone.

What time zone are the timestamps in? Times are UTC. isoTime is an ISO 8601 UTC string and unixTimestamp is the same moment in seconds.

Can I get a range of several days? Yes. Set start and end to span the period you need, then raise maxItems accordingly.

Why did I get fewer points than expected? The day-ahead auction publishes prices up to a horizon. Hours past that horizon are not available yet, so a forward range returns fewer points.

How fresh is the data? Each run pulls live from Elering, so it reflects what the dashboard publishes at run time.

Can I schedule this? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to snapshot prices on any cadence, for example once a day after the auction clears.

🔌 Integrate with any app

Results are available through the Apify API, so you can pull them into any app, database, or workflow you already run.
