Steps

  1. Confirm the current API host before integrating: the historical developer portal at emi.developer.azure-api.net is being retired as EMI is wound down in favor of the Electricity Authority's 'Data & insights' hub at ea.govt.nz/data-and-insights/tools-and-apis/.
  2. Subscribe to an API product and obtain a subscription key, sent as an Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header.
  3. Query real-time-prices for 5-minute indicative prices and real-time-dispatch for dispatch price plus point-of-connection load/generation.
  4. Query forecast-nrss/forecast-prss for short-horizon (roughly 8 trading periods ahead) forecast prices.
  5. Filter results using OData-style $filter query parameters, e.g. on PointOfConnectionCode.
