Energy data as a building block for your software

REST API, webhooks, and MQTT. Austrian Smart Meter data as infrastructure for your application. You build the product, we deliver the data.

The challenge

Building your own EDA connection is disproportionate effort

Building and maintaining your own communication infrastructure for a feature within a larger product doesn't pay off. Protocol updates and regulatory requirements come on top.

Energy data requires domain expertise

EDA protocols, consent management, grid-specific differences. Most development teams have no experience with Austrian energy data infrastructure. This costs onboarding time and delays your project.

Over 140 grid operators, ongoing maintenance

Among the over 140 Austrian grid operators, data formats and response times can vary. On top of that, there are semi-annual EDA releases with protocol changes. A connection is not a one-time project but an ongoing effort.

Benefits

What energiedaten.at delivers for you

One API for all grid operators

REST API with JSON. Register meters, initiate consent, retrieve data — one unified workflow for all Austrian grid operators.

Standard protocols

REST API, Webhooks, MQTT. Technologies your team already knows. No specialized knowledge of the energy sector required.

We handle the complexity

Consent management, grid operator communication, protocol updates, data quality assurance — all in our service. You focus on your product.

From prototype to production

Start on our shared infrastructure. When you outgrow it, switch to your own or our managed setup for unlimited meters.

In 3 steps

How it works

1

Create account & generate API key

Create an account and generate an API key. API documentation is publicly available.

2

Register meters via API

POST request with metering point number. We automatically start the consent process with the grid operator.

3

Receive data

Via API poll, webhook push, or MQTT subscription. In the format and protocol that fits your architecture.

No setup fees. Start with just one meter.

Trust & Security

Your data in good hands

Regulated infrastructure

Production-grade connection to the EDA network. No protocol knowledge required.

GDPR-compliant consent

GDPR consent handled at the infrastructure level. No legal implementation on your side.

TLS encrypted

TLS everywhere. API keys with granular permissions. EU data residency.

Documented API

REST API with JSON. Public documentation and examples.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Create an account, generate an API key, register your first meter. The consent process takes 1–5 business days, then data flows automatically.

Quarter-hourly consumption data in kWh. Daily delivery of the previous day's values. Historical data up to 3 years back depending on plan.

JSON via REST API, webhook payloads, or MQTT messages. CSV export via email from the Starter plan. SFTP from the Business plan.

Starter: up to 30 meters. Growing: up to 150. Business: unlimited with your own infrastructure. Rate limits are plan-dependent.

No. Our API abstracts the entire EDA complexity. You work with a REST API — we handle EDA protocols, grid operator communication, and consent management.
