FAQ WebAPI

I have successfully registered for the "WebWebAPIReader" role on netztransparenz.de. Unfortunately, I have not found any further information on the URLs / entry points for the API.

Depending on which API endpoint you want to access, the information contained in the URL for the data category "{data}", the data point "{product}" and the requested time period "{dateFrom} or {dateTo}" must be adapted in the following URL: https://ds.netztransparenz.de/api/v1/data/{data}/{product}/{dateFrom}/{dateTo}

For further information, please refer to the WebAPI documentation and the available JSON file.

You can reach the Swagger area via the following link: https://extranet.netztransparenz.de/DesktopModules/LotesDataManagementExtranet/Swagger/index.html?version=public

How can I use or test the WebAPIs in the Swagger environment?  

If you have registered for API use and have created at least one client in the WebAPI-Portal, you can test all WebAPIs in the Swagger environment by clicking on the "Authorize" button in the top right-hand corner.  
In the first screen, please enter your personal ClientID and your ClientSecret. Now you can use the individual APIs by clicking on the "Try it out" button and filling in the input fields.

When I try to retrieve data in the Swagger environment, I get the error 401 - Unauthorized.

If you have successfully registered for the API and have already created a client, data retrieval is generally possible. Please note in particular the answer to the FAQ question "How can I use or test the WebAPIs in the Swagger environment".

Is it possible to call up the Web APIs automatically using machine-to-machine communication?

With the changeover to OAuth 2.0 Client Credential Grant, machine-to-machine API usage is possible.
