Capabilities

Tools 9

energy_compare

Compare 2–5 distinct supported energy benchmarks with separate timestamps, dataset context, units and currencies. No currency conversion or timestamp alignment is implied.

Discovered
energy_drilling

Read authenticated drilling intelligence for a supported geography. Preserve report dates and geography. Permian basin counts and prior-report changes are unavailable unless explicitly supplied; do not substitute US totals. Account entitlement is enforced by OilPriceAPI.

Discovered
energy_futures_curve

Read an authenticated energy forward curve, at most 12 contracts. Preserve contract month, trading date and expiration semantics. Missing expiration or source dates remain unreported. Account entitlement is enforced by OilPriceAPI.

Discovered
energy_get_latest

Read the latest price for one exact commodity code from the catalog (find codes with energy_search_catalog). Preserve dataset name, currency, unit and all source/freshness fields; latest is not necessarily spot or settlement. Requires a connected account; access follows the account's plan.

Discovered
energy_get_price

Read one supported latest energy benchmark. Preserve dataset name, currency, unit and all available source/freshness fields. Latest benchmarks may be futures; never relabel them spot or settlement. Demo is available without signup.

Discovered
energy_history

Read one authenticated benchmark's daily historical observations over at most 30 days and 100 rows. No pagination or anonymous history. Derive summaries only from returned observations, which may be incomplete.

Discovered
energy_marine_fuels

Read authenticated bunker quotes for 1–2 supported ports and one exact grade: VLSFO, MGO_05S or HFO_380. Preserve port, grade and per-quote freshness. No substitution when a quote is unavailable. Account entitlement is enforced by OilPriceAPI.

Discovered
energy_market_overview

Read a grouped snapshot of at most six supported energy benchmarks. Catalog enumeration and bulk extraction are outside this plugin. Missing values remain unavailable.

Discovered
energy_search_catalog

Search the full OilPriceAPI commodity catalog (crude grades, regional natural gas hubs such as Waha, refined products, power, coal, metals, freight and more) by name or code. Returns at most 10 matching codes with name, category, unit and update frequency. Use it to find the code, then call energy_get_latest. Requires a connected OilPriceAPI account.
