Index Data

This endpoint returns the index of a specified ID, produced by LCP Delta's optimisation algorithm (see Enact's index page).

The indices have been backfilled up to the 1st of January 2024, and are updated daily via our optimisation algorithm. Currently, only our pre-set indices are available via API.

To access an index, you need its corresponding GUID, which can be retrieved using our GET request. This request returns key details such as the capacity or duration of the index, and the GUID required to fetch the data.

Synchronous

enact_api_helper = enact.APIHelper(username, public_api_key)

# see 'BODY PARAMS' section below for details on corresponding parameter values
response_dataframe = enact_api_helper.get_german_index_data(
  date(2024, 6, 1),
  date(2024, 12, 31),

  "EuroPerKwPerYear", # normalisation. "Euro", "EuroPerMw", "EuroPerMwh" or "EuroPerKwPerYear" (default).
  "Week", # granularity. "Day", "Week" (default), "Month" or "Year"
)
