## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ambolt-danish-electricity-prices-api-69fa6ae8
```

Example prompt: What are the hourly electricity spot prices for the DK1 bidding area today, and which 3 hours are cheapest? Show me prices in both DKK and EUR.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, ready-to-use Danish or Nordic day-ahead electricity spot prices with built-in cheapest-hour identification, without having to query Energinet directly or parse raw ENTSO-E data. Ideal for energy scheduling agents, home automation, EV charging optimization, cost reporting, or any workflow that needs to act on real-time or historical Danish electricity pricing data at low per-call cost.

## Known failure modes

- Date out of range or no data published yet for that date — returns available: false
- Invalid bidding area code — request validation error
- Invalid date format (not YYYY-MM-DD) — schema validation error
- Energinet upstream data unavailable — may return empty or stale data
- cheapestHours exceeds 24 or is negative — schema validation error

## How this service works

Pay-per-call data tools for developers and AI agents: company registers, documents, tenders, rates and on-chain facts as MCP tools, x402 endpoints and Apify Actors.

## Output

A JSON object containing: the full list of electricity prices per hour (or 15-minute slot) in DKK and EUR per MWh with Danish-local and UTC timestamps; a summary with daily min, max, and average EUR price; a configurable list of the N cheapest hourly slots; the data resolution used; data availability flag; fetch timestamp; and source attribution to Energinet.
