DESCRIPTION: ERCOT publishes certain
publicly accessible market information, referred to as “MOSPUBLIC Reports”, on
its website at regular intervals. A subset of these reports can also be accessed
by Market Participants using API. In order to maintain public access
performance for these reports ERCOT provides a “Terms of Use” guide. This
document defines ERCOT’s policy related to the usage of website and / or the API
to access MOSPUBLIC Reports. The objectives of this policy
are:
a)
Prevent overloading of ERCOT computing resources that may occur due
to excessive queries
b)
Ensure optimal transactional request / response performance to all
Market Participants
This policy is referred to
as “MOSPUBLIC Reports - Screen Scraping / API Terms of Use”.
After review by
stakeholders groups this policy is now posted on the ERCOT.com website.
The document lists the report names, frequency of data latency, allowable
query intervals and links to each of the MOSPUBLIC
Reports.
MOSPUBLIC Reports Screen Scraping/API Terms of
Use is posted under User Guides at http://www.ercot.com/services/userguides/.
