(Archive) V1 API

Recent API

The Recent API endpoint provides high-resolution retrospective 15-minute time-series data from the past 6 months up to yesterday for photovoltaic (PV) systems based on their site's location and installation characteristics. This endpoint supports GET requests that require latitude, longitude, as well as the slope and orientation of the PV system.

For users on the free plan, access is limited to the past 14 days.

A rate limit of 5 requests per second applies to prevent abuse. Exceeding this will return a 429 response.

Example Request

The following examples demonstrate how to pass the required parameters and include the API key for authentication. The example uses a slope of 30 degrees, an orientation of 180 degrees (south-facing), and the location is set to Rosenheim, Germany with coordinates latitude: 47.84812, longitude: 12.06231.

import requests

url = 'https://api.pvnode.com/v1/recent/'
body = {
    "latitude": 47.84812,
    "longitude": 12.06231,
    "slope": 30,
    "orientation": 180
}
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + YOUR_API_KEY
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=body)
data = response.json()

This covers the base configuration. The API supports many additional parameters for shading, tracker systems, demand profiles, and more — see the API Reference for the full list.
