Submit Measurements
Besides providing data from our integrated metering point operators, you can also submit measurements via our API endpoint /measurements.
Before submitting measurements to our platform, you have to understand the different site types. The site type defines the valid values for the meter field measuring and the required amount of measurings for a successful billing.
You need to set the meters field direction in correlation with measuring correctly so that its OBIS code is configured correctly. Also note that the example timestamps only show HH:mm of the full ISO8601 string.

⚠️
- You are fully responsible for the correctness and completeness of the measurements.
- The platform does not automatically use interpolation to replace missing measurements. You can do that manually in our web app.
- In order to be able to bill a site, the daily required measurings are absolutely necessary.
- Virtual meter measurements cannot be submitted via API, the measurements will be calculated automatically during the balancing process.
- Submitted measurements of type 1.8 and 2.8 must already include the transformer multiplier, if applicable. Our platform is not aware of transformer factors.
- Only measurements corresponding to the specific meter's measuring type can be submitted.
