EU Electricity Prices API: Day-Ahead Power Prices & Cheap Hours

Electricity prices scraper & API: hourly (or 15-minute) day-ahead spot prices of the European electricity market (Strompreise, prix de l’électricité), 40+ bidding zones, official data — energy prices, cheapest hours, negative-price and spike alerts, history. For Home Assistant, Slack, webhooks.

Run it on Apify: apify.com/euroscrape/eu-electricity-prices (full documentation, pay per result, no subscription).

Use it as an API

Get your token in Apify Console → Settings → Integrations, then:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/euroscrape~eu-electricity-prices/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @input.json

Use it from an AI agent (MCP)

Add this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client: the Actor becomes a tool your agent can call.

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=euroscrape/eu-electricity-prices

It is a pay-per-event Actor, so agents can also pay per run without an Apify account (agentic payments).
