Columns

Exactly what a request answers with, read from the API rather than written here.

ColumnTypeDescription
interval_start_utcrequiredtimestampStart of the interval, UTC. Always UTC — ERCOT publishes wall-clock Central with a repeated-hour flag, which is resolved on ingest.e.g. 2026-08-29T14:15:00Z
isorequiredstringPublishing ISO.e.g. ERCOT
noderequiredstringSettlement point identifier, as published by ERCOT.e.g. HB_HOUSTON
energy_mwhrequirednumberTotal DAM energy sold at this settlement point in this hour, MWh.e.g. 120.5
source_published_at_utcrequiredtimestampWhen ERCOT posted the document this row came from, UTC. For reports republished on a rolling window this is the vintage: the same interval appears once per publication, and the newest is the current view.e.g. 2026-08-29T14:17:01Z
collected_at_utcrequiredtimestampWhen Dryos collected this row, UTC. Stamped by the platform, not the collector.e.g. 2026-08-29T14:18:02Z

Full parameters — bucketing, aggregation, filters and search — are on the API reference.

Ask an agent

The same stream through the Model Context Protocol, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client can query it directly.

shell
claude mcp add --transport http dryos https://api.dryos.ai/mcp

Then ask:

What has Energy sold been at HB_NORTH over the last 24 hours, and when did it peak?

Setup for every client is on the MCP server page.

How this stream is checked

  • Pulled straight from ERCOT MIS · NP4-193-CD — no reseller in between — and compared against that file before it is served.
  • Null means the source did not report it — never zero.
  • A reading lands daily, ~12:35 CT; the interval timestamp is the start of the interval, in UTC.
  • ERCOT settles and publishes on US Central time. Every timestamp Dryos serves is UTC.
