Python library for fetching Nord Pool Elspot prices.
The minimum supported Python version is 3.9, which receives security updates until 2025-10. The library won't install without trickery on older versions, so update your Python.
To install from PyPi, use
pip install nordpool
To upgrade installation from PyPi, use
pip install -U nordpool
Below is a very basic example of the library usage. More advanced example(s) can be found in examples -directory.
from pprint import pprint
from nordpool import elspot
# Initialize class for fetching the prices.
# An optional currency parameter can be provided, default is EUR.
prices_spot = elspot.Prices()
# Fetch tomorrow's prices for Finland and print the resulting dictionary.
# If the prices are reported as None, it means that the prices fetched aren't yet available.
# The library by default tries to fetch prices for tomorrow and they're released ~13:00 Swedish time.
pprint(prices_spot.fetch(areas=["FI"]))Output:
