Asynchronous Python client for the easyEnergy API.
A python package with which you can retrieve the dynamic energy/gas prices from easyEnergy. Third parties who purchase their energy via easyEnergy (as far as is known):
pip install easyenergynote: Currently only tested for day/tomorrow prices
You can read the following datasets with this package:
note: easyEnergy has separate prices for usage and return to grid, which also differ per hour.
The energy prices are different every hour, after 15:00 (more usually already at 14:00) the prices for the next day are published and it is therefore possible to retrieve these data.
- Current/Next[x] hour electricity market price (float)
- Lowest energy price (float)
- Highest energy price (float)
- Average electricity price (float)
- Time of highest price (datetime)
- Time of lowest price (datetime)
- Percentage of the current price compared to the maximum price
- Number of hours with the current price or better (int)
The gas prices do not change per hour, but are fixed for 24 hours. Which means that from 06:00 in the morning the new rate for that day will be used.
- Current/Next[x] hour gas market price (float)
- Lowest gas price (float)
- Highest gas price (float)
- Average gas price (float)

This is an active open-source project. We are always open to people who want to use the code or contribute to it.
We've set up a separate document for our contribution guidelines.
Thank you for being involved! 😍
This Python project is fully managed using the Poetry dependency manager.
You need at least:
- Python 3.9+
- Poetry
Install all packages, including all development requirements:
poetry installPoetry creates by default an virtual environment where it installs all necessary pip packages, to enter or exit the venv run the following commands:
poetry shell
exitSetup the pre-commit check, you must run this inside the virtual environment:
pre-commit installNow you're all set to get started!
As this repository uses the pre-commit framework, all changes are linted and tested with each commit. You can run all checks and tests manually, using the following command:
poetry run pre-commit run --all-filesTo run just the Python tests:
poetry run pytestMIT License
