npm install node-red-contrib-nordpool-api

Node Red Nordpool API

A Node-Red Node for collecting "day ahead" prices from NorpoolGroup.

Installation

Go to your Node-RED user folder (e.g. ~/.node-red) and run:

sudo npm i node-red-contrib-nordpool-api

Usage

The area, currency and time span can be changed by selecting from the drop down menu in the properties:

example:

Use a inject node to trigger a request to nordpool

If the current time has passed 15:00 it returns an array of 48 objects. one pr.hour for this day and the day ahead.

If the current time is before 15:00 it returns an array of 24 objects. one pr.hour for current day. This i because the "day ahead" prices may not be published at this time.

Objects contains this properties: Area, Valuta, Price StartTime, EndTime and Timestamp.

Example with UI chart:

Use a function node to convert msg to values readable for UI chart node:

the function node in this example contains:

var msg1 = {}
for (var i = 0; i<msg.payload.length;i++){
    msg1 = {
        topic:msg.payload[i].Area + " " + msg.payload[i].Valuta, 
        payload:msg.payload[i].Price, 
        timestamp:msg.payload[i].Timestamp,
        }
    node.send(msg1)
    }
return;

the result is that the function node pushes a payload for every object in msg:

result in UI:
