Steps
Register for API access via the registration endpoint (or the official 'watttime' Python SDK's registration helper).
Call the login endpoint with your username/password to obtain a bearer access token that expires after roughly 30 minutes, requiring re-login.
Call GET /v3/forecast with signal_type=co2_moer (or health_damage, co2_aoer, etc.) and either a region (balancing authority, e.g. CAISO_NORTH) or lat/lon coordinates, plus an Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN> header.
Read the response: the first data point is the current 5-minute period, with the forecast extending at least 24 hours at 5-minute granularity.
For a rolling window of past forecasts, use the historical forecast endpoint instead.
Check the access-scope endpoint first to confirm which regions/signal types your account is scoped to.
Known gotchas
Provide either region OR lat/lon, not both — if both are supplied, only the region value is used.
Free/basic registration is typically scoped to a limited region (e.g. CAISO_NORTH) and a subset of signal types; other regions require a paid data license.
This is distinct from the real-time signal-index endpoint (current MOER) and the historical endpoint (past MOER) — the forecast endpoint is specifically for forward-looking predicted values.
