Verdigris API usage with python

Head over to our API Docs

Step 1 - Head to our admin console, click on "Create New Key" to generate an API key ; save the "Client ID" and "Client Secret" for API usage.

Note: You will need to create a new API key if you did not grab them. We can not get it for you after your API key is created.

Step 2 - Open a new jupyter notebook  to use with Python 3 

Step 3 - Replace "client_id": xxxx and "client_secret": xxxx with your generated Client ID and Client Secret from Step 1

Example for calls that require no parameters (using Core API)

GET /circuits/

import requests

url = "https://api.verdigris.co/core/v1/circuits/"
response = requests.get(url, headers=header_auth)
response.json()

Example for calls that require parameters (using Data API)

GET /power/circuits/

import requests

url = 'https://api.verdigris.co/data/v4/power/circuits'
payload = {
    'ids':'12345, 23456',
    'start_time':'2020-10-8T:20:55:00Z',
    'end_time':'2020-10-8T:21:55:00Z',
    'interval':'15m',
    'timestamp_format':'iso8601'
}
response = requests.get(url, params = payload, headers = header_auth)

response.json()
