🇫🇷 Linky: official API about bloom-contrib HOT 7 CLOSED

If you're interested in updating your module to work with the official API we could integrate it?

That could be fun !
I'll play a little bit with the official API next week and tell you

from bloom-contrib.

There's already an implementation here:
https://github.com/tmrowco/tmrowapp-contrib/blob/master/integrations/electricity/linky.js
Although it is quite unstable.
Join us on slack (slack.tmrow.com) and then we can help you in more details.

Thanks!

Would you consider using my linky npm module ?

It doesn't use the "official API" (which I didn't know before today), but it allows to get half-hourly values.

Do you need help on that ?

So, here I am with some updates. Using the official API was not as easy as I thought.

• First of all, you need to create an application (which has to be validated by the Enedis team 😕 )
• You have to store some secret API keys (that cannot be shared) and use them from a back-end server
• Once a user authorizes your app, Enedis will call an URL that you have to implement, with some sort of storage system to save the user tokens (which change every few hours)

So here is the conclusion:
I cannot update my module to work with the official API, because a module is not enough. You need a server, API keys, and a database to make everything work.

The "you need a server" part is unacceptable. Can we contact them?

That's not how the 'API' is designed.
The end user is supposed to land on a webpage owned by enedis saying "Do you give APP-XXX access to your data during a period of 1 month" ?
When the user says "Yes I do", Enedis calls an URL owned by you with tokens in it, which you have to save.
Then, you can use these user-related tokens to call the Enedis API

Are you able to do make the changes?

Sure, I may just need some help to understand how your app works and what I should implement
