Create tokens

This page describes how to request personal API tokens for use by the project's parsers, as not all API access can be done anonymously without them. By declaring environment variables named like the headings below, the associated parsers will make use of them.

ENTSOE_TOKEN

1. Register on the platform: https://transparency.entsoe.eu/dashboard/show
2. Send an email to [email protected] with “Restful API access” in the subject line. Indicate the email address you entered during registration in the email body.
3. Once access has been granted, users will find, after logging in, their token under Account Settings on TP.

ESIOS_TOKEN

Follow the instructions at https://www.esios.ree.es/en/page/api

As of December 2024, they say you should email [email protected] without further details. You could, for example write a title like Request for a personal API token and a body of:

Hello, could I be provided a personal API token?

I'm looking to contribute to an open-source project that makes use of your API (https://app.electricitymaps.com/), where having a personal API token would be relevant.

Best regards
