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]?

Sure if you'd like, I won't change the endpoints (and if domains change again I'll add redirects), but I won't be properly supporting it for external use, so if it breaks, it breaks.

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, backend is here.
