Steps
Register an account at transparency.entsoe.eu and verify it via the emailed confirmation link.
Email transparency@entsoe.eu with "RESTful API access" in the subject and your registered email in the body; access is typically granted within a few working days.
Once granted, sign in to the platform and generate a security token under My Account (a separate step from the email approval).
Send a GET request to https://web-api.tp.entsoe.eu/api with securityToken=<TOKEN>, documentType=A11 (cross-border physical flows), in_Domain=<EIC of importing bidding zone>, out_Domain=<EIC of exporting bidding zone>.
Set periodStart and periodEnd in the format yyyyMMddHHmm (UTC), e.g. periodStart=202512312300&periodEnd=202612312300.
Parse the XML response body; long-running requests can time out and may need to be chunked.
Known gotchas
Rate limit is roughly 400 requests per minute per user/token/IP; exceeding it triggers a temporary ban of around 10 minutes.
in_Domain and out_Domain must be valid EIC area codes for the specific border (per the platform's published Area List), not generic country codes.
Requests spanning long periods can time out (around 5 minutes); large multi-year pulls should be chunked into smaller date ranges.
