Further information in the main CKAN Data API and DataStore documentation.

The Data API can be accessed via the following actions of the CKAN action API.

Query
`https://api.nationalgrideso.com/api/3/action/datastore_search`
Query (via SQL)
`https://api.nationalgrideso.com/api/3/action/datastore_search_sql`

Query example (first 5 results)
`https://api.nationalgrideso.com/api/3/action/datastore_search?resource_id=66d309b9-0202-48ad-a7dc-eeafd9f53a65&limit=5`
Query example (via SQL statement)
`https://api.nationalgrideso.com/api/3/action/datastore_search_sql?sql=SELECT * from "66d309b9-0202-48ad-a7dc-eeafd9f53a65" LIMIT 5`

A simple ajax (JSONP) request to the data API using jQuery.

var data = {
  resource_id: '66d309b9-0202-48ad-a7dc-eeafd9f53a65', // the resource id
  limit: 5 // get 5 results
};
$.ajax({
  url: 'https://api.nationalgrideso.com/api/3/action/datastore_search',
  data: data,
  dataType: 'jsonp',
  success: function(data) {
    alert('Total results found: ' + data.result.total)
  }
});

DemandPk

Title	Peak Demand
Type	number
Description	Expected demand at the specified location at the time of the highest total demand for the nation.
Comment	Winter Peak is a view of peak demand between the hours of 17:00 and 18:00 – typically November-February on a week day
Example	82.07
Unit	MW

DemandAM

Title	Minimum Demand (Summer Morning)
Type	number
Description	Expected demand at the specified location at the time of the lowest total demand for the nation
Comment	Summer Minimum AM is a view of demand between 0500-0600, typically in June-August on a Summer Sunday morning.
Example	33.379
Unit	MW

DemandPM

Title	Minimum Demand (Summer Afternoon)
Type	number
Description	Expected demand at the specified location at the lowest summer afternoon national demand.
Comment	Summer Minimum PM is a view of demand between 13:00-1400, typically June-August, Summer Sunday afternoon. This period is interesting to study as, whilst not being as low as the morning demand, high solar output will create a low demand on the transmission network.
Example	47.38
Unit	MW
