Solar production estimate chart

(Professional accounts only)

You can direct draw forecast estimate charts via API calls.

The logic for the chart drawing URL is a bit different. In other calls you have to use your API key for calls. But the needed code snippet here is placed into a HTML page and the API key should not be visible for the public

So the process of drawing a chart consists of 3 parts:

1. Request a unique token for your plane(s), combine up to 4 (check Swagger)
2. Init JavaScript chart functions, once per page
3. Draw concrete chart by placing the JavaScript snippet exact at the place, where the chart should be shown.

https://api.forecast.solar/:key/chart/:lat/:lon/:dec1/:az1/:kwp1/:dec2/:az2/:kwp2
https://api.forecast.solar/:key/chart/:lat/:lon/:dec1/:az1/:kwp1/:dec2/:az2/:kwp2/:dec3/:az3/:kwp3

Result will be something like this:

{
    "result": {
        "token": "pDvJw75F",
        "url": "https://api.forecast.solar/chart/pDvJw75F.js",
        "tag": "<script defer src='https://api.forecast.solar/chart/pDvJw75F.js'></script>"
    },
    "message": {
        "code": 0,
        "type": "success",
        "text": ""
    }
}

The offset of 0 is optional and this will work the same way:

You can draw the chart up to 6 days in advance!

Please load the scripts always defered to not block the page loading!

<-- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 -- Init chart functions, required only ONCE per page
 -- Put this always BEFORE the chart scripts!
 -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ -->
<script defer src="https://api.forecast.solar/chart/init.js"></script>

<div style="text-align:center">
    <-- ------------------------------------------------------------------
     -- Custom header
     -- -------------------------------------------------------------- -->
    <h3>Production estimate South</h3>

    <-- ------------------------------------------------------------------
     -- Wrap script with a DIV with dimensions to define chart size
     -- -------------------------------------------------------------- -->
    <div style="width:400px;height:200px;margin:auto">
        <script defer src="https://api.forecast.solar/chart/pDvJw75F.js"></script>
    </div>
</div>

You can provide 2 parameters to the script:

• title - Chart title
• subtitle - Chart subtitle

You can in both parameters use the follwing placeholders:

• {place} - Location of the plant
• {date} - Chart date

If nothing is provided, no tilte is drawn and the subtitle becomes the date.

If the title contains the {date} placeholder, the subtitle will not show the date.
