myeia is a simple Python wrapper for the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) APIv2. It is designed to be simple to use and to provide a consistent interface for accessing EIA data.
pip install myeia- backoff
- pandas
- python-dateutil
- python-dotenv
- requests
To obtain an API Key you need to register on the EIA website.
To find all EIA Datasets visit API Dashboard.
from myeia import API
eia = API()# Create a .env file in your projects root directory
touch .envBy default the API class will look for your EIA_TOKEN.
If you have registered for an API key you can set it in your .env file.
EIA_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN_HERELets look at an example of how to get the EIA Natural Gas Futures.
You can use the simpler v1 API method where you only need to pass the series_id or you can use the newer v2 API method where you need to pass the route, series, and frequency.
df = eia.get_series(series_id="NG.RNGC1.D")
df = eia.get_series_via_route(
route="natural-gas/pri/fut",
series="RNGC1",
frequency="daily",
)
df.head()Output Example:
Natural Gas Futures Contract 1 (Dollars per Million Btu)

... ...Lets look at another example the Total OPEC Petroleum Supply where the facet is available as seriesId. By Default it is set as series but we can define the facet as seriesId.
df = eia.get_series(series_id="STEO.PAPR_OPEC.M")
df = eia.get_series_via_route(
route="steo",
series="PAPR_OPEC",
frequency="monthly",
facet="seriesId",
)
df.head()Output Example:
Total OPEC Petroleum Supply

... ...You can also filter by multiple facets. Lets look at the UAE Crude oil, NGPL, and other liquids where the facets we choose are countryRegionId and productId.
The difference here is that both facet columns are present in the dataframe, unlike the previous examples where only one facet was present.
df = eia.get_series_via_route(
route="international",
series=["ARE", 55],
frequency="monthly",
facet=["countryRegionId", "productId"],
)
df.head()Output Example:
countryRegionId productId Crude oil, NGPL, and other liquids

2024-03-01 ARE 55 4132.394334

2023-11-01 ARE 55 4082.394334
... ... ... ...For multiple series you have to loop through the series and append the data to a list.
data = []
for item in ["RNGC1", "RNGC2"]:
df = eia.get_series_via_route(
route="natural-gas/pri/fut",
series=item,
frequency="daily",
facet="series",
)
data.append(df)
df = pd.concat(data, axis=1)
df.head()Output Example:
Natural Gas Futures Contract 1 (Dollars per Million Btu) Natural Gas Futures Contract 2 (Dollars per Million Btu)

2023-08-23 2.497 2.592
... ... ...You can define a start and end date for your query.
df = eia.get_series(
series_id="NG.RNGC1.D",
start_date="2021-01-01",
end_date="2021-01-31",
)
df.head()Output Example:
Natural Gas Futures Contract 1 (Dollars per Million Btu)
Date
2021-01-29 2.564
2021-01-28 2.664
2021-01-27 2.760
2021-01-26 2.656
2021-01-25 2.602
... ... This also works for the get_series_via_route method.
df = eia.get_series_via_route(
route="natural-gas/pri/fut",
series="RNGC1",
frequency="daily",
start_date="2021-01-01",
end_date="2021-01-31",
)
