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 Outaged been at SPP over the last 24 hours, and when did it peak?

Setup for every client is on the MCP server page.

Changes to this collector

A change in the collector is a change in the data. Anyone reading a step in a series is owed the day it moved under them.

  1. 2026-09-14

    First collected, from SPP's marketplace portal.

    PJM's outage forecasts were here and SPP's was not. Reconciled against the live files on 2026-09-14: schema, nulls, primary key, value bands and row counts passed.

How this stream is checked

  • Pulled straight from SPP Marketplace Portal · Capacity of Generation on Outage — 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, a week ahead; the interval timestamp is the start of the interval, in UTC.
  • SPP publishes on US Central prevailing time, with a UTC column on every row. Every timestamp Dryos serves is UTC.
