Elexon BMRS Insights Solution API

Elexon BMRS Insights Solution API

Elexon’s Insights Solution Developer Portal publishes Great Britain electricity balancing, generation, demand and system-warning data as keyless Dataset, Opinionated, Streaming and Summary REST endpoints, returning CSV, XML or JSON. The portal says: "All our APIs are public and no API key is required."

Coverage

Dataset endpoints return data "in CSV, XML or JSON" and are suitable for market domain experts; Opinionated endpoints derive specific answers (e.g. forecast evolution) from a dataset; Streaming endpoints return JSON only; Summary endpoints return aggregated data. History start and update cadence are not stated as one figure — they vary per dataset.
