⚡ Energy-Charts Power Mix Scraper

🚀 Export a country's electricity generation mix in one run. Pull 15 minute solar, wind, nuclear, gas, hydro, and load values straight from the Fraunhofer ISE Energy-Charts public API.

Turn the Fraunhofer ISE Energy-Charts data into clean, structured records you can drop into a dashboard, a forecasting model, or a research notebook. Pick a country and a date range and get one normalized record per timestamp and production type, with the value in megawatts.

Coverage spans Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and dozens more European countries plus the aggregated Europe view. Each day returns up to 96 time steps (15 minute intervals) across every production type the source reports, including solar, wind onshore and offshore, nuclear, fossil gas, brown and hard coal, hydro, biomass, cross border trading, and total load.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Energy analysts and traders	Track the daily generation mix per country
Grid and renewables researchers	Study solar and wind share over time
Data scientists and forecasters	Feed clean time series into models
Dashboard and app builders	Power a live energy mix visualization

📋 What the Energy-Charts Power Mix Scraper does

This Actor calls the public Energy-Charts public_power endpoint and flattens its arrays into one clean record per time step and production type:

• One record per (timestamp, production type) so the data drops straight into a table or a chart.
• Both unix and ISO time on every record for easy joining and plotting.
• Megawatt values for each production type, including negative values where the source reports consumption (for example pumped storage).
• Country and date range echoed onto every record so multi country pulls stay self describing.

You control the country, the start and end date, and how many records come back. Every record carries a scrapedAt timestamp.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: country, end, isoTime, productionType, scrapedAt, start, unixTimestamp, valueMw. All 8 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
