summary:
  official_count: 1
  languages: [python]
  note: >-
    UK Power Networks ships exactly one first-party client library: ukpyn, published to PyPI by its own
    Distribution System Operator data team from the UKPN-DSO GitHub organisation. No JavaScript, Java,
    .NET, Go, Ruby, PHP or Rust client is published by UK Power Networks — the npm registry returns no
    ukpn/ukpowernetworks package. The Opendatasoft JavaScript client below is first-party to the
    platform vendor, not to UK Power Networks, and is recorded as official:false for that reason.

  description: >-
    The official Python client for the UK Power Networks Open Data Portal. Wraps the Explore API v2.1
    behind domain orchestrators (ltds, dfes, dnoa, network, flexibility, curtailment, ders, gis,
    powerflow), supports sync and async use, exports to CSV/JSON/Excel/GeoJSON/Parquet, and reads the
    portal API key from a UKPN_API_KEY environment variable.

  description: >-
    Opendatasoft's own JavaScript client for the Explore API. It works against the UK Power Networks
    portal because the portal is an Opendatasoft deployment, but UK Power Networks neither publishes
    nor endorses it in its own documentation, so it is not counted as a UK Power Networks SDK.
