⚡ Octopus Energy UK Tariffs Scraper

🚀 Export the live Octopus Energy product catalog in seconds. Pull every UK tariff with unit rate, standing charge, exit fees, green and tracker flags, and per-region pricing across all 14 GSP regions. No API key, no registration, no manual CSV wrangling.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-22 · 📊 29 fields per record · ⚡ Live UK tariffs · 🌍 14 GSP regions (A-P) · 🏷️ 3 brands

The Octopus Energy UK Tariffs Scraper exports the live Octopus Energy product catalog and returns 29 fields per record per tariff per region, including product code, display name, unit rate and standing charge (both inc-VAT and exc-VAT), exit fees, online and dual-fuel discounts, tariff direction (IMPORT or EXPORT), brand, and full attribute flags for green, tracker, variable, prepay, business, and restricted tariffs. Octopus is the UK's largest green energy supplier and publishes its full tariff catalog as a public reference.

The catalog covers all 14 UK Grid Supply Point regions (A through P), 3 brands (Octopus Energy, Co-op Energy, London Power), and the complete IMPORT plus EXPORT tariff stack including SMETS2 smart-meter products, Agile half-hourly pricing, Tracker daily pricing, and EV-specific tariffs. This Actor makes that data downloadable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under five minutes. All filters run server-side, so you skip the parser engineering entirely.

📋 What the Octopus Energy UK Tariffs Scraper does

Eight filtering workflows in a single run:

• 🔍 Specific tariff lookup. Pass a single product code (e.g. AGILE-24-10-01) to fetch just that product.
• 📈 Variable tariffs only. Pull only variable-price products (Agile, Tracker, flexible).
• 🌱 Green tariffs only. Restrict to 100% renewable electricity products.
• 📊 Tracker tariffs only. Daily-updated wholesale-linked products.
• 💳 Prepay tariffs only. Pay-as-you-go meter tariffs.
• 🏢 Business tariffs only. Non-domestic tariffs.
• 🗺️ GSP region filter. Restrict per-region rows to one of the 14 UK Grid Supply Points (A-P).
• 🏷️ Brand filter. Octopus Energy, Co-op Energy, or London Power.

Each record includes product naming, fuel type and register, payment method, tariff code, region, all pricing (standing charge, unit rate, exit fees, discounts) in both inc-VAT and exc-VAT form, direction flag (IMPORT or EXPORT), brand, full boolean attribute flags, and the product availability window.

💡 Why it matters: UK energy switching is a £15B+ market and tariff data drives every comparison engine, smart-home optimizer, and EV-charging planner. Building your own pipeline means handling regional pricing, VAT, and the IMPORT vs EXPORT split. This Actor flattens all of that into a single clean dataset.

tariffCode	string	""	Specific product code (e.g. AGILE-24-10-01). Overrides other filters.
isVariable	boolean	false	Only variable tariffs (Agile, Tracker, etc.).
isGreen	boolean	false	Only 100% renewable tariffs.
isTracker	boolean	false	Only tracker (daily-updated) tariffs.
isPrepay	boolean	false	Only prepayment tariffs.
isBusiness	boolean	false	Only business (non-domestic) tariffs.
region	string	""	GSP region code (_A through _P). Empty = all 14 regions per product.
brand	string	""	Brand filter. Empty = all brands.
availableAt	string	""	ISO 8601 datetime. Empty = currently available products.

Example: every Agile tariff in London (region C).

{
    "maxItems": 50,
    "tariffCode": "AGILE-24-10-01",
    "region": "_C"
}

Example: all green variable tariffs across every region.

{
    "maxItems": 200,
    "isGreen": true,
    "isVariable": true,
    "brand": "OCTOPUS_ENERGY"
}

⚠️ Good to Know: prices are published per kWh in pence. Standing charges are per-day. Both *IncVat and *ExcVat fields are returned so you can use whichever your downstream calculations expect. The direction field separates IMPORT (you pay) from EXPORT (you receive, e.g. solar buyback) tariffs.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🧩 How does it work?

Pick a region, brand, or tariff-type flag in the input form, click Start, and the Actor fetches the live Octopus product catalog and emits a clean structured record per tariff per region. No browser automation, no captchas, no setup.

📏 How fresh is the pricing?

Every run pulls the current catalog. Tracker tariffs refresh once per day at 4pm UK time. Agile tariffs publish half-hourly rates daily at 4pm for the following day.

🗺️ What are GSP regions?

Grid Supply Point regions are the 14 zones (A through P, skipping I and O) that the UK National Grid uses to allocate transmission and distribution costs. Each postcode belongs to one region, and unit rates differ slightly across regions.

🔁 What is the difference between IMPORT and EXPORT tariffs?

IMPORT tariffs are what you pay when consuming grid electricity. EXPORT tariffs are what Octopus pays you for energy you push back to the grid (e.g. from solar panels or a home battery). The direction field tells you which is which.

🌱 Are all Octopus tariffs green?

Most Octopus Energy electricity tariffs are 100% renewable. The isGreen flag is set per product so you can filter explicitly.

⏰ Can I schedule regular runs?

Yes. A daily Apify Schedule (just after 4pm UK time) captures the freshest Agile and Tracker prices.

⚖️ Is this data legal to use?

Octopus publishes its full tariff catalog as public reference data for switching engines and customer transparency. Review the downstream terms of your specific use case, but published tariff pricing is generally considered public.

💼 Can I use this data commercially?

Yes. Switching platforms, comparison engines, and smart-home tools commonly use published UK tariff data. You are responsible for complying with any regulatory requirements (Ofgem rules, consumer protection) in your own product.

💳 Do I need a paid Apify plan to use this Actor?

No. The free Apify plan is enough for testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan lifts the limit and gives you access to scheduling, higher concurrency, and larger datasets.

🔁 What happens if a run fails or gets interrupted?

Apify automatically retries transient errors. If a run still fails, you can inspect the log in the Runs tab, fix the input, and re-run. Partial datasets from failed runs are preserved so you never lose progress.
