Python CLI and web tool for retrieving and analysing electricity/gas consumption data from E.ON Next API

eonapi

PyPI version
Python 3.9+
License: MIT

A Python CLI tool for retrieving and analyzing electricity/gas consumption data from the E.ON Next API.

Features

  • Automatic Pagination: Fetches all available data for your requested time period
  • 30-minute intervals: Retrieves half-hourly consumption data
  • Multiple Commands:
    • export: Export raw data to CSV or store in SQLite database
    • stats: Display consumption statistics and analysis
    • ui: Interactive web UI with charts and visualizations
  • Database Storage: SQLite storage with automatic incremental updates
  • Multiple meter support: Auto-selects single meter, prompts for selection with multiple
  • Flexible authentication: Environment variables (recommended) or command-line arguments
  • Progress feedback: Shows pagination progress while fetching large datasets

Installation

pip install eonapi

From source

git clone https://github.com/tomdyson/eonapi.git
cd eonapi
pip install -e .

Using uv (for development)

git clone https://github.com/tomdyson/eonapi.git
cd eonapi
uv sync

Quick Start

Set up credentials

export EON_USERNAME=your@email.com
export EON_PASSWORD=yourpassword

Export data to CSV

# Export last 30 days to stdout
eonapi export > consumption.csv

# Export last 7 days to file
eonapi export --days 7 --output last_week.csv

# Export with inline credentials
eonapi export --username your@email.com --password yourpass --days 30 > data.csv

View statistics

# Display statistics for last 30 days
eonapi stats

# Statistics for last 7 days
eonapi stats --days 7

Database Storage

The --store option enables SQLite database storage for your consumption data, with automatic incremental updates.

Features

  • Incremental Updates: Only fetches new data since the last run, saving time and API calls
  • Automatic Detection: Checks the latest timestamp in your database and fetches only newer records
  • Duplicate Handling: Safely skips duplicate records if they already exist
  • Multiple Meters: Supports storing data from multiple meters in the same database
  • Local Storage: All data stored locally in a single SQLite database file

Usage

# First run: fetches last 30 days (default)
eonapi export --store

# Subsequent runs: automatically fetches only new data
eonapi export --store

# Use custom database location
eonapi export --store --db /path/to/my-data.db

# Specify initial days on first run
eonapi export --store --days 90

Commands

eonapi export

Export consumption data to CSV format or store in SQLite database.

Options:

  • --username, -u: E.ON Next account username (email)
  • --password, -p: E.ON Next account password
