What it is and what it does
ovoenergy is an unofficial Python client for accessing OVO Energy account and consumption data through their public APIs. It wraps HTTP requests with async support via aiohttp, JWT authentication via PyJWT, and a command-line interface via typer, allowing developers to retrieve energy meter readings and account information programmatically.
The package is maintained by a community contributor and explicitly disclaims official OVO Energy support. It has been tested primarily with UK accounts; users outside the UK or with non-standard account setups may encounter compatibility issues. The codebase is actively maintained but remains subject to breakage if OVO changes their API endpoints or authentication scheme.
Use it for
- Retrieve historical energy consumption data from an OVO Energy account for personal analytics or billing verification.
- Build a home automation dashboard that displays current meter readings and usage trends from OVO Energy.
- Integrate OVO Energy data into a broader utility management or carbon-tracking application.
- Export meter data programmatically for analysis in data science workflows or reporting tools.
