Steps

  1. Browse the dataset catalogue at bmrs.elexon.co.uk/api-documentation to locate the balancing acceptances and bid-offer dataset endpoints
  2. Call the balancing/acceptances endpoint for a given settlementDate (yyyy-MM-dd) and settlementPeriod, or the /all/latest variant for the most recent data
  3. Account for settlement periods 1-50 (not a fixed 48) to correctly bound requests around UK clock-change days
  4. Parse returned JSON records for BM Unit ID, accepted bid-offer volume, and acceptance timestamp
  5. Most Insights Solution dataset endpoints are public and do not require an API key, unlike some legacy BMRS reports
