Welcome to wGrid Dashboard!

This dashboard is a work in progress. It is not yet complete, but it is being actively developed.

My main aim is to combine what I like about National Grid: Live and Energy Dashboard into a single dashboard, while making it easier for anyone else that also wants to develop a dashboard to use the data.

How does it work?

The data is sourced from a number of different sources, and then combined into a single database. This DB then serves a number of different API (Application Programming Interface) endpoints, including the current electricity mix and historical data for a given time period.

The data is then used to generate a number of different charts, through chart.js, and is displayed.

Can I use this API for [project]?

One of the main goals is to make the API stable and reliable enough for use in not just my projects, but other's too. You are welcome to use it, however API docs have not been written yet. More info is at /api/ for now, however each endpoint's entry in the docs just points to a 404 at the moment.

Can I download the database?

Sure, it's sqlite3. Download it here, I may make a reference parser in the future but it's super easy to just figure out yourself anyway.

Is this open source?

Frontend is here.
