Steps
Call the EIA API v2 steo route with your API key to access forecast series
Discover valid series IDs directly, since STEO is a flat route of named series rather than a nested facet hierarchy like the electricity or petroleum routes
Filter by frequency (monthly) and the specific series ID needed (e.g. a demand or generation forecast series)
Set the desired date range via the route's start/end parameters
Cross-check returned values against the same month's published STEO release, since forecasts are revised monthly
Known gotchas
STEO is structured as a flat list of roughly 1,400+ named series rather than a nested facet hierarchy, so the discovery pattern used for electricity/rto-style routes does not apply here
STEO values are forecasts that get revised monthly, not settled historical actuals — treating them as ground-truth history will misrepresent the data
