Getting Started

Prerequisites​

Valid client credentials are required to make calls to our API. As of this moment, you will need to contact us to get onboarded as a partner. See our Authentication guide for more details about authentication.

After acquiring valid client credentials, requests can be made to our API. See our Swagger UI for details about endpoints.

Making your first API call​

To test out the API, try making a call to /smart/v1/prices/actual/{priceArea}. You will need to include the Norwegian price area you want the current spot prices for in the requests. The response of this query will be a list of the current price for each individual hour in the day.

  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" \
