## 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 epex-spot-de-lu-day-ahead-auction-results-43962be5
```

Example prompt: Pull the EPEX SPOT day-ahead auction results for the Germany-Luxembourg bidding zone for October 21, 2026, with 15-minute resolution so I can see baseload price, peakload price, and the buy/sell volumes for each quarter-hour period.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured EPEX SPOT day-ahead auction clearing prices and volumes specifically for the Germany-Luxembourg (DE-LU) bidding zone, at hourly or 15-minute resolution, without scraping the EPEX SPOT website directly. Prefer it over generic energy data APIs when you need both price and volume (buy/sell) detail from the official SDAC auction. Not suitable for intraday or real-time prices, or for other European bidding zones.

## Known failure modes

- Auction results not yet published for the requested delivery date (typically available after noon CET on the preceding day)
- Invalid date format returns an error
- Unsupported area code (only DE-LU is supported by this endpoint)
- Upstream EPEX SPOT website unavailable or changed structure causing scrape failure
- Stale data if checkedAt timestamp is old and auction results have since been updated

## How this service works

EPEX SPOT day-ahead electricity auction results for the Germany-Luxembourg bidding zone (DE-LU, Europe's largest power market) and a delivery day: baseload and peakload prices (EUR/MWh), and for every hour and every 15-minute period the price, buy volume, sell volume and traded volume (MWh).

## Output

A JSON object containing the delivery date, currency (EUR), area (DE-LU), baseload price, peakload price, and an array of hourly or 15-minute intervals each with price (EUR/MWh), buy volume (MWh), sell volume (MWh), and traded volume (MWh). Also includes auction label, source URL, and the timestamp when data was checked.
