## 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 vextorium-european-day-ahead-electricity-prices-8e6034e6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the day-ahead electricity prices in Germany for today, including the cheapest and most expensive hours in EUR/MWh?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, hourly wholesale electricity price data for European markets including Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, and Nordic zones. It is ideal for energy scheduling, cost analysis, market monitoring, and reporting use cases where day-ahead EPEX/OMIE-style prices in EUR/MWh are needed without building a direct integration with energy market APIs.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country or zone code returns an error or null result
- Future dates beyond the day-ahead window may not have data yet
- Past dates older than available history may return empty results
- Missing required 'pais' field causes a validation error
- Invalid date format (non YYYY-MM-DD) causes a parse error

## How this service works

Wholesale day-ahead electricity price in a European country or zone (DE, FR, ES, PT, IT, NL, BE, AT, PL, CH, Nordics...) for today or a given day: hourly EUR/MWh, average, max, min and cheapest and most expensive hours. Use «todos» to compare the daily average across countries.

## Output

A JSON object containing: the date and zone, full hourly EUR/MWh prices (UTC hour + price per hour), daily average, maximum and minimum prices, a list of the cheapest hours and most expensive hours, the unit (EUR/MWh), and the data source name.
