Get Latest Sparkr Releases

/beta/sparkr/releases/latest/

The latest endpoint allows you to import the latest terminal cost release for all terminals listed on the platform. This includes front month and forward curve prices.

The JSON output includes:

• Terminal name and code
• Price Release Date
• Terminal cost price in $/MMBtu or €/MWh
• Terminal cost prices for a 160 TFDE or 174 2 stroke vessel
• Tenor of the contract

A full breakdown of the terminal regas costs, as can be seen on the platform, is also included in the JSON output. The Latest Price Release endpoint has limited functionality, and is intended as a quick and easy way to retrieve the latest price for a given contract. There are no optional parameters for this endpoint.

See API Reference

List Sparkr Releases

/beta/sparkr/releases/

Retrieving historical terminal costs is a more general case use of the Access endpoint. The JSON output contains a list of dictionaries. Each item in this list is structured identically to the JSON described in Section 1 (Latest Price Releases), and each one represents a historical price release for each terminal. Put simply, it’s a list of price release JSONs for each release date and each terminal.

Parameters

This endpoint has two optional parameters, which can be input in the {options} section of the URL above. These are:

• offset
  • Optional integer value to set from where to start returning data.
  • E.g. offset=2 provides all historical prices, from 2 days before current release onwards.
  • Default is 0.
• limit
  • Optional integer value to set an upper limit on the number of price releases returned by the endpoint.
  • E.g. limit=10 gives you the last 10 price releases for the chosen terminal
  • Default is 10.

Unlike other endpoints in the API, the Access API does not require you to specify vessel type. The API will retrieve prices for both 160 TFDE and 174 2 stroke vessels by default.

Unlimited access to historical data is only available to those with a premium subscription. Get in touch to find out more.
