API Guide

Below provides a quick-access link to the latest Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD). You can obtain the original data from the UK Government website (see here). Please be aware that this data is shared by UK Government on a under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

• Via GET... https://energymodels.eng.ed.ac.uk/dres/api/renewables/?county=Orkney&type=wind.

The following can be adapted to integrate with your Python workflow:

                    
import pandas as pd
import requests

payload = {
    'county': 'Orkney',
    'type': 'wind',
}
response = requests.get("https://energymodels.eng.ed.ac.uk/dres/api/renewables/",params=payload)
data = response.json()
df = pd.DataFrame(data['data'])

We will be adding a range of other API end-point during March 2025.
