How this service works
Hourly US electricity demand, day-ahead demand forecast, net generation and total interchange for any of 83 balancing authorities - CAISO, ERCOT, PJM, MISO, NYISO, ISO-NE, SPP, Bonneville, or US48 for the whole Lower 48. Straight from EIA open data, grouped by hour so an agent reads one object per hour instead of four raw series.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing recent grid demand readings for the specified US balancing authority, covering up to the requested number of hours (max 168). Includes a 'cached' flag indicating whether the response was served from cache and a 'units' field describing the data units, along with the demand output data.
Example use cases
Real-time grid stress monitoring
“Check the grid demand for the PJM region over the last 24 hours — I want to know if there are any unusual spikes that might indicate stress on the network.”
Energy trading research
“Get me the last 168 hours of grid demand data for the ERCO (Texas) balancing authority so I can analyze weekly load patterns for my energy trading model.”
Renewable dispatch planning
“Fetch the past 48 hours of grid demand for the NYIS balancing authority — I need to see peak demand windows to schedule our battery dispatch correctly.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agents.dexl.io/v1/tools/grid-demandWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need recent historical electricity grid demand data for a specific US balancing authority without setting up accounts or API keys. It is ideal for agents that need on-demand, pay-per-call energy data across any major US grid region, especially when integrating with other DexL agent network tools or when cost control at the per-request level is important.
Side effects
- Invalid or unrecognized region code returns an error — must use one of the 83 accepted balancing-authority codes
- Hours value outside the 1–168 range will be rejected
- Upstream grid data source unavailable may result in stale or missing data
- Malformed request body returns a 400-level error
- Payment failure via x402 results in the request not being fulfilled
