    }
}

Current Python Session

The credential can be added for the current session only, after importing the OpenBB package.

from openbb import obb

obb.user.credentials.eia_api_key = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_KEY"

Coverage

Endpoints

• obb.commodity.petroleum_status_report (API key not required.)
• obb.commodity.short_term_energy_outlook (API key required.)

Weekly Petroluem Status Report

The WPSR is comprised of thirteen (excludes discontinued series) high-level categories with each containing a subset of tables. Data is from the static Excel files published here, and each file represents a single category.

All data from a single category is returned by supplying "all" to the table parameter of the WPSR endpoint.

Tables from the WPSR are returned in a flat format in the same order as presented in the Excel files. The response is suitable for pivot tables and SQL storage.

Category choices are defined as:

balance_sheet
inputs_and_production
refiner_and_blender_net_production
crude_petroleum_stocks
gasoline_fuel_stocks
total_gasoline_by_sub_padd
distillate_fuel_oil_stocks
imports
imports_by_country
weekly_estimates
spot_prices_crude_gas_heating
spot_prices_diesel_jet_fuel_propane
retail_prices

Short Term Energy Outlook

The Short Term Energy Outlook (STEO) is curated by table, and relies on the EIA V2 API. Tables are defined by their alphanumeric code, and return in the same format as the WPSR tables.
