entsoe-py
A python API wrapper for ENTSO-E
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and installs with low friction. It is the standard Python interface to ENTSO-E data and is well-suited for anyone working with European electricity market or grid data. Verify that you can obtain an API key and that the endpoints you need are currently supported.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid ENTSO-E API key (obtainable from the ENTSO-E transparency platform); timestamps must be pandas Timestamp objects with timezone information.
- Low install friction with four common dependencies (requests, pytz, beautifulsoup4, pandas).
- Package is actively maintained with a recent release and 716 repository stars, indicating stable, established use.

What it is and what it does
entsoe-py is a Python wrapper around the ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity) REST API, providing structured access to European electricity market and grid data. The package offers two client interfaces: EntsoeRawClient returns data in its native XML or ZIP format, while EntsoePandasClient automatically parses results into Pandas Series or DataFrames for easier analysis. It handles common operational concerns like splitting requests that span more than one year and managing large batches of API calls transparently.
The package depends on requests for HTTP communication, pytz for timezone handling, beautifulsoup4 for XML parsing, and pandas for data structuring. It is actively maintained, classified as Production/Stable, and supports Python 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11. The API surface includes methods for querying day-ahead prices, generation forecasts, load data, cross-border flows, capacity information, and balancing market data across European countries and interconnections.
Use it for
- Retrieve day-ahead electricity prices for specific European countries to analyze market trends or build pricing models.
- Query wind and solar generation forecasts and actual generation data for renewable energy analysis and grid planning.
- Fetch cross-border electricity flow data to study interconnection patterns and network congestion between countries.
- Obtain load forecasts and actual load data for demand-side analysis and capacity planning.
- Build time-series datasets of electricity market data for machine learning or statistical analysis of European energy markets.
