Description: # Elexon Data Portal
        
        [![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/189842391.svg)](https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/189842391) [![Binder](https://notebooks.gesis.org/binder/badge_logo.svg)](https://notebooks.gesis.org/binder/v2/gh/OSUKED/ElexonDataPortal/master?urlpath=lab%2Ftree%2Fnbs%2F08-quick-start.ipynb) [![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/ElexonDataPortal.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/ElexonDataPortal)
        
        The `ElexonDataPortal` library is a Python Client for retrieving data from the Elexon/BMRS API. The library significantly reduces the complexity of interfacing with the Elexon/BMRS API through the standardisation of parameter names and orchestration of multiple queries when making requests over a date range. To use the `ElexonDataPortal` you will have to register for an Elexon API key which can be done [here](https://www.elexonportal.co.uk/registration/newuser).

        <br>
        
        ### Installation
        
        The library can be easily installed from PyPi, this can be done using:
        
        ```bash
        pip install ElexonDataPortal
        ```
        
        <br>
        <br>
        
        ### Getting Started
        
        We'll begin by initialising the API `Client`. The key parameter to pass here is the `api_key`, alternatively this can be set by specifying the environment variable `BMRS_API_KEY` which will then be loaded automatically.
        
        ```python
        from ElexonDataPortal import api
        
        client = api.Client('your_api_key_here')
        ```
        
        <br>
        
        Now that the client has been initialised we can make a request! 
        
        One of the key abstractions within the `ElexonDataPortal` library is the handling of multiple requests over a date range specified through the `start_date` and `end_date` parameters. Each response will be automatically cleaned and parsed, then concatenated into a single Pandas DataFrame. If a settlement period and date column can be identified in the returned data then a new column will be added with the local datetime for each data-point. N.b. that if passed as a string the start and end datetimes will be assumed to be in the local timezone for the UK
        
        ```python
        start_date = '2020-01-01'
        end_date = '2020-01-01 1:30'
        
        df_B1610 = client.get_B1610(start_date, end_date)
        
        df_B1610.head(3)
        ```

        If you've previously written your own code for extracting data from the Elexon/BMRS API then you may be wondering where some of the normal parameters you pass have gone. The reduction in the parameters passed are due to 4 core drivers:
        
        * Standardisation of date range parameter names
        * Removal of the need to specify `ServiceType`
        * Automatic passing of `APIKey` after client initialisation
        * Shipped with sensible defaults for all remaining parameters
        
        The full list of data streams that are able to be requested can be found [here](#data-stream-descriptions). If you wish to make requests using the raw methods these are available through the `ElexonDataportal.dev.raw` module.
        
        Further information can be found in the [Quick Start guide](https://osuked.github.io/ElexonDataPortal/08-quick-start/).

        <br>
        
        ### What's Changed in v2
        
        The latest release of the library includes a full rewrite of the code-base. We have endeavoured to make the new API as intuitive as possible but that has required breaking changes from v1, if you wish to continue using the historic library use `pip install ElexonDataPortal==1.0.4`. N.b v1 will not be maintained going forward, you are advised to change over to v2.0.0+. 
        
        The key feature changes are:
        
        * Coverage of more BMRS streams 
        * Automated default values
        * Cleaner client API
        * A larger range of request types are compatible with the date range orchestrator
        
        <br>
        <br>
        
        ### Programmatic Library Generation
        
        One of the core features within the `ElexonDataPortal` library is that it is *self-generating*, by which we mean it can rebuild itself (including any new API request methods) from scratch using only the `endpoints.csv` spreadsheet. As well as generating the Python Client library a `BMRS_API.yaml` file is created, this provides an OpenAPI specification representation of the Elexon/BMRS API. In turn this allows us to automatically generate documentation, as well as run tests on the API itself to ensure that everything is working as expected - during this process we identified and corrected several small errors in the API documentation provided by Elexon. 
        
        To rebuild the library simply run the following in the root directory: 
        
        ```bash
        python -m ElexonDataPortal.rebuild
        ```
        
        <br>
        
        N.b. If you wish to develop the library further or use any of the programmatic library generation functionality then please install the development version of the library using:
        
        ```bash
        pip install ElexonDataPortal[dev]
        ```
        
        If you are not installing into a fresh environment it is recommended you install `pyyaml` and `geopandas` using conda to avoid any dependency conflicts. In future we are looking to release `ElexonDataPortal` as a conda package to avoid these issues.

        ### Data Stream Descriptions
        
        The following table describes the data streams that are currently retreivable through the API. The client method to retrieve data from a given stream follows the naming convention `get_{stream-name}`.
