New API for Octopus Customers

Octopus Energy now offers an API that serves up current wholesale prices across ERCOT. For our customers who use the wholesale price to automate their home, customers who would like to track the price outside our app, or simply the curious, this API is another tool Octopus offers to monitor the real-time power markets.

This API is a GraphQL endpoint. If you are familiar with curl, a sample request to get the latest LZ_HOUSTON settlement price is included at the end of this post. However, the concept is simple: POST the following GraphQL query to https://api.oeus-kraken.energy/v1/graphql/
