FlatPeak

FlatPeak is an energy tariff data and optimisation platform that connects you directly to your customers’ actual electricity tariffs. It enables you to shift the energy usage of devices you control to lower-tariff periods and report on the resulting financial savings.

What is FlatPeak

It only takes two steps to integrate FlatPeak into your app and back-end before you can start making requests for your customer's energy tariff.

Service architecture

FlatPeak enables you to optimise the operation of devices under your control to reduce your customers’ energy costs and demonstrate savings.

Overview

This tutorial shows how to use FlatPeak to reduce and report energy costs for systems like EVSEs or smart sockets.

Switched system

In this tutorial, you will learn how to leverage FlatPeak if your system generates energy, such as solar PV or wind turbine, and you want to report cost savings and export revenue that it creates.

Generation system

In this tutorial, you will learn how to leverage FlatPeak if your system is an energy storage device, and you want to optimise its operations to maximise savings and accelarate the ROI.

Storage system

In this tutorial, you will learn how to leverage FlatPeak if your system is an EV, and you want to optimise charging to lower energy cost.

Electric vehicle

In this tutorial, you will learn how to leverage FlatPeak to lower the cost of energy used by your cold storage system.

Cold storage

Before implementing Connect integration, you can use the FlatPeak-hosted version of Connect to quickly test the experience it provides.

Exploring Connect

In this tutorial, you will learn how to integrate the web version of Connect, the **Connect-web** into your application.

Single-page web app

In this tutorial, you will learn how to integrate the "JSON API" version of *Connect*, the **Connect-headless**, natively into your application.

Native app or Server-side

Native app or server-side integration

In this tutorial, you will learn how to build a page in your app to enable your customers to quickly add, check status and manage tariff connections.

Tariff settings page

Building tariff settings page in your app

Once your customer has completed the Connect flow, you can use Connect to display the summary of their tariff inside your app.

Displaying tariff summary

Displaying customer's tariff on-demand in your app

Once your customer has completed the Connect flow, FlatPeak systems will kick in to automatically keep their tariff information up to date.

Lifecycle webhooks

Implementing tariff lifecycle webhooks

Test mode is an isolated environment in your FlatPeak account that enables you to develop and test your integration without affecting your production data.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to import and manage your customer's tariffs in FlatPeak when you cannot use [Connect](/start/connect/explore).

Tariff elements

Using API to create and manage tariffs

Device identifiers

Managing device identifiers

In this tutorial, you will learn how to calculate the cost of energy that your device is using (or exporting) at your customer's premises.

Calculating energy cost

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use FlatPeak API to calculate carbon footprint of your devices, in addition to the monetary cost of energy they use.

Calculating carbon

Calculating carbon intensity

In this tutorial, you will learn how obtain your customer's tariff rates and use it to calculate your customer's energy cost.

Getting tariff rates

Getting market rates

Automatic market rates integration

In this tutorial, you will learn how to account for local generation in FlatPeak service.

Local generation

Accounting local generation

In this tutorial, you will learn how to lower your device's energy cost by aligning its operation with price of energy in real-time with FlatPeak Copilot Schedules.

FlatPeak API uses [bearer authentication](/help/api-authorization) (also called token authentication) to authorize access to API endpoints. To create a bearer token, use this `/login` endpoint with basic auth:

  | []()            | []()                                                                   
  | --------------- | ------------------------------ |
  | `username`      | Your FlatPeak Account ID.      |
  | `password`      | Any of your FlatPeak API Keys. |

<Tip>Account ID and API Keys can be found on [API Keys](https://dashboard.flatpeak.com/keys/api) page of Dashboard.</Tip>

Create a bearer token

In order launch a session with Connect you need a `connect_token`. 

Connect tokens serve single purpose of authenticating your customer's session with Connect and are dismissed as soon as you [exchanged](/api-reference/connect/exchange-a-connect-token) the token for `location_id` once your customer's session with Connect has ended.

<Info>Refer to [Connect-web](/guides/connect-web-tariff) and [Connect-headless](/guides/connect-headless-tariff) to learn how to implement Connect with your application.</Info>

Create a token

Create a connect token

To start requesting your customer's tariff rates from this API, you need to exchange the `connect_token` for a `location_id`.

Exchange a token

Exchange a connect token

Lists events, going back up to 90 days.

Events are returned sorted by creation date, with the most recent appearing first. If no parameters are specified in the request, all events in pages of 100 are returned.

List all events

Retrieve an event

Returns a list of all customers. 

The objects are returned sorted by creation date, with the most recent appearing first. If no parameters are specified in the request, all objects in pages of 100 are returned.
