# SiteCheck Trade & Energy — ENTSO-E EU Day-Ahead Electricity Prices

> SiteCheck Trade & Energy — ENTSO-E EU Day-Ahead Electricity Prices is a paid API for AI agents from api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Returns European day-ahead electricity spot prices (EUR/MWh) for a specified bidding zone, with daily min/max/average and optional cross-border physical flows, sourced from Fraunhofer ISE Energy-Charts / ENTSO-E / SMARD.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 sitecheck-trade-energy-entso-e-eu-day-ahead-electricity-prices-dae0fb81
```

Example prompt: What are the hourly day-ahead electricity spot prices for the DE-LU bidding zone today, including the daily min, max, and average in EUR/MWh, and also show me the cross-border physical flows between Germany and France?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative European electricity day-ahead market prices for specific ENTSO-E bidding zones (DE-LU, FR, NL, BE, AT, CH, CZ, PL, HU, DK1/2, NO1-5, SE1-4, IT-North, ES, PT), optionally combined with cross-border physical flow data. It is ideal for energy trading analytics, grid monitoring, renewable dispatch planning, and European power market research. Prefer this over generic energy APIs when you need ENTSO-E-sourced granularity (15-minute intervals), multi-zone coverage, and integrated cross-border flow data in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported bidding zone code returns an error or empty data
- Date in the future beyond the day-ahead market window may return no data
- Invalid date format causes a parameter error
- Unsupported flows country code returns an error
- Upstream ENTSO-E/SMARD or Energy-Charts API outage causes downstream failure
- Payment failure (x402) prevents access to the endpoint

## How this service works

European electricity market: day-ahead spot prices (EUR/MWh, 15-minute or hourly) for a bidding zone such as DE-LU, FR, NL, BE, AT, PL, DK1, NO2, SE3, IT-North, with min/max/average for the day, and optionally the cross-border physical flows (GW, positive = import) between a country and each neighbour. Data from ENTSO-E/SMARD as republished by Fraunhofer ISE's Energy-Charts API; licence string returned with each answer.

## Output

A structured response containing day-ahead electricity spot prices in EUR/MWh at 15-minute or hourly resolution for the requested bidding zone and date, plus daily summary statistics (min, max, average). If the 'flows' parameter is provided, also includes cross-border physical flows in GW (positive = import) between the specified country and each of its neighbours. A licence attribution string is included with each response.
