CKAN Data API

Access resource data via a web API with powerful query support.
Further information in the main CKAN Data API and DataStore documentation.

The Data API can be accessed via the following actions of the CKAN action API.

Query
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search`
Query (via SQL)
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search_sql`

Query example (first 5 results)
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search?resource_id=922a4355-ec87-4744-95ef-bdba58610f06&limit=5`
Query example (via SQL statement)
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search_sql?sql=SELECT * from "922a4355-ec87-4744-95ef-bdba58610f06" LIMIT 5`

A simple ajax (JSONP) request to the data API using jQuery.

var data = {
  resource_id: '922a4355-ec87-4744-95ef-bdba58610f06', // the resource id
  limit: 5 // get 5 results
};
$.ajax({
  url: 'https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search',
  data: data,
  dataType: 'jsonp',
  success: function(data) {
    alert('Total results found: ' + data.result.total)
  }
});

A simple ajax (JSONP) request to the data API using jQuery.

Comment	LW: Leading the Way CT: Consumer Transformation ST: System Transformation SP: Steady Progression CF: Central Forecast
Example	SP
Unit	N/A

tech

Title	Technology Type
Type	string
Description	The type of generation technology represented by this entry.
Comment
Example	Solar PV
Unit	N/A

year

Title	Year
Type	integer
Description	Two character value indicating the year that this data relates to i.e. "20" = 2020, "50" = 2050.
Comment	Capacity is assumed to be present for the winter starting in the stated year
Example	50
Unit	N/A

Title	Location
Type	string
Description	Connection location to the electricity system.
Comment	Short code names are used for GSPs i.e. "ABTH_1" for Aberthaw 132kV.
Example	ABTH_1
Unit	N/A

capacity

Title	Capacity of sub 1 MW Generation
Type	number
Description	Total aggregate capacity of sub 1 MW distributed generation of this technology type associated with this location.
Comment
Example	8
Unit	MW

wintpk

Title	Forecast output at winter peak demand
Type	number
Description	Forecast output at winter peak demand.
Comment	Winter Peak is a view of peak demand between the hours of 17:00 and 18:00 – typically November-February on a week day
Example	7.7
Unit	MW

summam

Title	Forecast output at summer minimum morning demand
Type	number
Description	Forecast output at summer minimum morning demand.
Comment	Summer Minimum AM is a view of demand between 0500-0600, typically in June-August on a Summer Sunday morning.
Example	0
Unit	MW

summpm

Title	Forecast output at summer minimum afternoon demand
Type	number
Description	Forecast output at summer minimum afternoon demand.
Comment	Summer Minimum PM is a view of demand between 13:00-1400, typically June-August, Summer Sunday afternoon. This period is interesting to study as, whilst not being as low as the morning demand, high solar output will create a low demand on the transmission network
Example	0.5
Unit	MW
