What it measures
Every value, its unit, and what the source means by it.
- Total LMP$/MWh
The five-minute real-time price at the location, as ISO-NE first publishes it.
lmp_total - Congestion$/MWh
Marginal congestion component — the part that differs between locations.
lmp_congestion - Losses$/MWh
Marginal loss component.
lmp_loss - Energy$/MWh
Marginal energy component, as ISO-NE publishes it. One number across New England each interval.

Columns
Exactly what a request answers with, read from the API rather than written here.
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| interval_start_utcrequired | timestamp | Start of the settlement interval, UTC. Always UTC — the ISOs publish in local time with inconsistent DST handling.e.g. 2026-08-14T15:00:00Z |
| isorequired | string | Publishing ISO.e.g. ERCOT |
| marketrequired | string | Market the price cleared in: DAM (day-ahead), RTM (real-time, SCED), or RTPD for CAISO's fifteen-minute market.e.g. RTM |
| noderequired | string | Pricing node or settlement point identifier, as published by the ISO.e.g. HB_HOUSTON |
| node_type | string | Node classification. For ERCOT this is derived from the settlement point naming convention: HUB / LOAD_ZONE / DC_TIE / RESOURCE_NODE. For MISO it is the ISO's own pricing-node type: HUB (every aggregate, the eight trading hubs and the .AZ zones alike) / LOAD_ZONE / RESOURCE_NODE (a generator's node) / INTERFACE. For PJM it is the type on the row: HUB / LOAD_ZONE (a transmission zone) / INTERFACE / EHV / AGGREGATE for the aggregate streams, and RESOURCE_NODE (a generator's bus) / LOAD_BUS / EXTERNAL_BUS for the bus streams. For SPP it is read off SPP's own suffix on the Pnode behind the settlement location: HUB / LOAD_ZONE (a load area) / RESOURCE_NODE / DEMAND_RESPONSE / INTERFACE (a neighbouring operator). For CAISO it is the APnode type in CAISO's own reference: HUB (trading hubs) / LOAD_ZONE (every kind of load aggregation point) / RESOURCE_NODE / DEMAND_RESPONSE (a proxy or reliability demand resource, read off the resource id) / INTERFACE (intertie resources) / EIM_NODE (a Western EIM area's node — CAISO's EIMT, which holds the area's plants and its transfer points alike) / AGGREGATE (generation aggregation points, distributed-resource aggregations, flexible-ramp and imbalance-reserve zones). For NYISO it is LOAD_ZONE (the eleven zones) / INTERFACE (the four external proxy zones, the proxy buses of scheduled lines, and any generator NYISO files in an external zone) / DEMAND_RESPONSE (a demand-response provider) / RESOURCE_NODE (a bus in NYISO's generator reference, DER aggregations included) / LOAD_BUS (a bus NYISO prices beside the generators that no generator is registered to — transformer banks and load buses). For ISO-NE it is the location type ISO-NE publishes, a network node refined by the prefix on its name: HUB (the Internal Hub) / LOAD_ZONE (the eight) / INTERFACE (an external node) / DEMAND_RESPONSE (a demand-response aggregation zone) / HUB_NODE (one of the network nodes the Hub averages) / RESOURCE_NODE (a unit, UN., or a storage plant's asset-related demand, AR.) / LOAD_BUS (a load node, LD.).e.g. APND |
| lmp_totalrequired | number | Total locational marginal price, $/MWh.e.g. 41.83 |
| lmp_energy | number | Energy component, $/MWh.e.g. 39.12 |
| lmp_congestion | number | Congestion component, $/MWh. Signed so that total = energy + congestion + loss on every row: NYISO publishes it with the opposite sign, and it is stored negated.e.g. 2.94 |
| lmp_loss | number | Loss component, $/MWh.e.g. -0.23 |
| source_published_at_utc | timestamp | When the ISO published this interval, UTC. Lets a buyer distinguish 'we were slow' from 'the ISO was slow'. |
| collected_at_utcrequired | timestamp | When Dryos collected this row, UTC. Stamped by the platform, not the collector. Together with interval_start_utc this makes freshness auditable per row instead of only in aggregate.e.g. 2026-08-15T21:22:09Z |

Ask an agent
The same stream through the Model Context Protocol, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client can query it directly.
claude mcp add --transport http dryos https://api.dryos.ai/mcpThen ask:
What has Total LMP been at .H.INTERNAL_HUB 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 ISO Express · Five-Minute Real-Time LMPs, Preliminary — 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 every 5 min; the interval timestamp is the start of the interval, in UTC.
- ISO-NE stamps its files in Eastern prevailing time with no zone column. Every timestamp Dryos serves is UTC.
