Welcome to Elhub API Services

Elhub is developing APIs to support our vision of sharing more data with the public and end users. We are releasing several APIs to inform the public, empower end users with data and promote innovation in the energy market.

🏛️ APIs

Your starting point as a developer to access and integrate ELHUB’s API services. We currently offer two APIs:

• Energy Data API provides access to datasets for various ELHUB entities such as price areas, grid areas and municipalities. For more details about usage and available datasets, see Energy Data API
• Data Export API provides file exports for different job types. Access depends on job type and data permissions. For more details about job types and usage, see Data Export API

✅ Downloads

The Downloads section is for non-developers interested in accessing our open datasets. It provides easy access to datasets in CSV format, which can be downloaded directly from this section. There are also downloadable datasets at elhub.no/data

📒 Terms of use

Our APIs and datasets are licenced by CC BY 4.0.

We advise all users to not cause unnecessary traffic or overload our servers.
