Easier integrations with the normalized intervals endpoint 📊

We’re excited to announce the launch of a new normalized interval data endpoint, designed to make API integrations smoother and more efficient for you. The normalized version of the interval endpoint delivers data as a consistent array of 15-minute records, masking the inconsistencies in data publishing patterns across different utilities. Now, you can integrate seamlessly and focus on your unique use cases while we handle the complexities behind the scenes! 🙌

What problem are we solving?

Our raw intervals API reliably delivers data as collected from utility sources, but it also inherits several challenges from the data itself:
➖ Inconsistent durations: While many utilities publish 15 or 60-minute intervals, others provide data in 5 or 30-minute increments, requiring extra effort from you to manage these differences.
➖ Data gaps: Missing records from utilities can skew calculations, forcing you to first identify and handle these gaps before fully utilizing the data from our raw intervals API.

How does normalization make API integration easier? 🎉

✅ Consistent 15-minute intervals: The normalized endpoint simplifies integration by providing consistent 15-minute interval data, regardless of the original utility timestamps. Most commercial meters publish 15-minute interval data, and it has become the industry standard for interval data analysis.
✅ Identification of missing records: Missing intervals are filled with null values, so you only need to manage these nulls without worrying about tracking down missing data.
