np_prices: Get the spot prices for a specified price_date.

In krose/nordpoolspotr: An R Wrapper for the NordPool Spot API.

Description

The function will return hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly spot prices. The hourly prices are the prices the Nordic end users pay and the price which the producers get. The daily, weekly, monthly and yearly prices are base (mean over a period) and not necessarily equal to the price the end user pays or the price the producer gets, as the consumption and production is not flat. Learn more at the website.

Usage

np_prices(
  time_unit = c("hourly", "daily", "weekly", "monthly", "yearly"),
  currency = c("EUR", "NOK", "DKK", "SEK"),
  price_date = Sys.Date() + lubridate::days(1),
  areas = NULL,
  long_data = FALSE
)

Arguments

time_unit	The time unit to return the data in.
currency	Price currency. EUR, NOK, DKK or SEK.
price_date	Date class object. The default is for tomorrow.
areas	A character vector with the areas you are interested in. Defaults to all.
long_data	Boolean. Do you want the data returned as a long or wide data.frame?
