This skill should be used when the user asks to "get electricity data", "query grid data", "get LMP prices", "fetch load data", "get fuel mix", "query ERCOT data", "query CAISO data", "query PJM data", "get electricity prices", "analyze grid operations", "get ISO data", or mentions electricity market data (load, generation, pricing, LMP, fuel mix, ancillary services, etc.).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# GridStatus API Skill
Query electricity grid data from US Independent System Operators (ISOs) using the GridStatus.io API. Access real-time and historical data for load, pricing (LMP), generation, fuel mix, and more.
## Quick Start
**IMPORTANT: Always use the Python SDK.** The direct curl API has issues with date filtering on the free tier and returns stale sample data. The Python SDK correctly handles all parameters.
### Setup
1. **Install SDK** (use uv for isolation):
```bash
cd /tmp && uv venv -q && source .venv/bin/activate && uv pip install gridstatusio pandas -q
```
2. **API Key**: Check for `GRIDSTATUS_API_KEY` in the user's `.env` file. If not present, instruct the user to:
- Create account at https://www.gridstatus.io
- Get API key from Settings page
- Add to `.env`: `GRIDSTATUS_API_KEY=your_key_here`
3. **Query data**:
```python
import os
os.environ['GRIDSTATUS_API_KEY'] = 'key_from_dotenv'
from gridstatusio import GridStatusClient
client = GridStatusClient()
df = client.get_dataset(
dataset="isone_fuel_mix",
start="2026-01-25",
end="2026-01-26",
limit=100
)
print(df.tail())
```

How to install
mdr add misterclean/ai-plugins/gridstatus-api@sha256:faa30515d1a07a68The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
