A Python client for the Octopus energy API.

You can visit the documentation by clicking here.

The first step to getting running with the library is to install it through pip.

! pip install octopyenergy

Requirement already satisfied: octopyenergy in c:\users\user\path\to\octopy-energy (0.0.1)

Once installed octopyenergy can be imported into your scripts.

import octopyenergy as oe
from octopyenergy.api import DownloadManager

We now need to assign values for our account/meter details.

N.b. we recommend that you store your account details in a .env file and then use the dotenv library to set them as environment variables, which can in turn be picked up by os and assigned to local variables.

octopus_api_key = 'your_octopus_api_key'
meter_mpan = 'your_meter_mpan'
meter_serial = 'your_meter_serial'

We'll start by initialising the DownloadManager, when we do so we can pass a number of parameters which will configure defaults in the download manager. The octopus_api_key is also required for some requests.

download_manager = DownloadManager(meter_mpan=meter_mpan, 
                                   meter_serial=meter_serial, 
                                   api_key=octopus_api_key)
