How do I get an EIA API Key?

You can register for a free API Key at the [**EIA Open Data portal**](https://www.eia.gov/opendata/register.php). Once registered, the key will be sent to your email address.

Is the data real-time or historical?

EIA provides both current energy statistics (updated daily or weekly) and extensive historical time-series data dating back several decades.

Does the integration cover global energy data?

This integration focuses on official U.S. domestic energy statistics as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Some international import/export data is included where relevant to the U.S. market.
