Enverus PRT API is an electronic data exchange interface provided by Enverus PRT for subscribers, mainly serving use cases such as power market forecasting and load forecasting. It is not a general-purpose developer API platform; instead, it is built around subscribed forecasting services, allowing users to upload actual load data to PRT and download private forecasts, public market forecasts, or coincidental peak alerts.
The documentation shows support for multiple transfer methods: SFTP, HTTPS API, web publishing, an interactive portal, and an Excel Interface available for some services. SFTP uses ftp.prt-inc.com, requires TCP port 22 to be open, and accounts point directly to the customer directory with directory listing disabled. The API is provided via an HTTPS endpoint and described by a Swagger specification. Users can test it through the Swagger page, and cURL examples are provided, making it suitable for scripted uploads of Actual.csv, downloads of zipped forecast files, or alert data retrieval. File formats are mainly CSV, while XML and ASCII text may be supported on a case-by-case basis.
The documentation is very detailed about the required format for Actual.csv, including date-based column ordering, HE 1 through HE 24, handling of missing values, blank values for the current day, date formats, and daylight saving time transition days. This is highly practical for business integration. From a developer tooling perspective, however, the documentation still feels like a traditional file-exchange setup: there is no visible official SDK, multilingual code examples, error code reference, rate limiting policy, Webhook support, versioning strategy, or SLA. The authentication example uses login/password form fields, but does not explain mechanisms such as tokens, OAuth, or key rotation.
Pricing is not disclosed. What can be confirmed is that access depends on a subscription: after subscribing, users receive private realm credentials and the corresponding forecast access rights. SFTP filenames, directories, and subscription URLs also need to be provided by the service provider, indicating limited self-service discovery. No self-hosted option is provided; the service endpoints are hosted by Enverus/PRT.
Its strengths are multiple transfer channels, automation support, and a clear CSV-based workflow, making it suitable for power companies and data teams with existing scheduling systems, ETL pipelines, or operations scripts. Its weaknesses are a relatively thin API ecosystem and limited commercial and operational transparency. The developer experience feels more like an enterprise file interface than a modern cloud API.
The documentation does not provide information about network access, payment, or compliance in mainland China, so its availability should be considered unknown. Chinese teams planning to use it should first test connectivity to prt-api.com and the SFTP port, and confirm cross-border data transfer, payment, and support channels. Possible alternatives include general-purpose SFTP/ETL platforms or local power data service providers.
