Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://zaref.dev/v1/electricity-tariffs?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the current, officially cited NERSA-approved Eskom electricity tariff data for South Africa, especially when accuracy, source citation, and freshness metadata matter. Prefer this over scraping NERSA or Eskom websites directly, as the data is pre-processed, structured as JSON, and includes a freshness flag and official source URL. Best suited for financial calculations, compliance checks, consumer-facing applications, or any workflow requiring reliable South African electricity pricing data.
Side effects
- Tariff data may be stale if NERSA has recently announced new rates not yet captured
- Network or upstream service errors returning non-200 status
- Payment (x402) not accepted or insufficient funds, preventing access to the endpoint
- Empty or malformed response if the underlying data source is temporarily unavailable
