A mate wrote me a PERL program to retrieve my half hourly electricity consumption from Octopus into a CSV file. I've heavily expanded it so it also writes to a single file with all dates in it, from which I can do pivot tables and graphs to analyse and compare my electricity usage.
So with the general principle of how to use APIs to hand I was able to write a fresh program to extract the generation data from my solar panels.
Many other nerds have this kind of information completely integrated along with their power consumption and their electricity export data, and have all kinds of fancy graphs and info. Quite what they do with it all I'm not sure - I've gone quite far enough with mine!
