pyTibber
A python3 library to communicate with Tibber
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you have a Tibber account and need programmatic access to pricing or consumption data. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, and integrates well with async Python projects. The GPL-3.0-or-later license is a consideration only if you're building proprietary software; it's fine for personal use and open-source projects.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.11 or later.
- Tibber API token from developer.tibber.com/ is required to authenticate.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel.

What it is and what it does
pyTibber is a Python async client for the Tibber energy platform, primarily used to fetch current electricity prices and consumption data for homes with Tibber accounts. It wraps Tibber's API and provides both one-time query methods (for prices and historical consumption) and real-time streaming via WebSocket for devices like Pulse and Watty smart meters.
The library is designed for async/await patterns and integrates with aiohttp, gql, and websockets for communication. You'll need a Tibber API token and Python 3.11 or later; the library handles query construction and WebSocket subscription management internally.
Use it for
- Fetch current electricity prices in your region to automate energy consumption decisions or trigger alerts.
- Stream real-time power consumption data from a Tibber Pulse or Watty device for live monitoring dashboards.
- Query historical consumption data to analyze energy usage patterns and costs over time.
- Integrate Tibber data into home automation platforms for price-aware automation.

Install
pytibber on PyPI
Before you install
Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel. Actively maintained as of 2026-08-14 with recent release activity. Depends on established async libraries (aiohttp, gql, websockets) and tenacity for retry logic.
Requires Python 3.11 or later. Tibber API token from developer.tibber.com/ is required to authenticate.
License in practice
GPL-3.0-or-later copyleft license means any derivative work must be open-sourced under compatible terms; acceptable for personal projects and open-source integrations but requires legal review for proprietary products.
