TTF Gas (TTF_GAS) Price API

You need to programmatically fetch the latest traded price for TTF Gas so your finance pipeline can value exposures, run P&L, or update dashboards in real time. By the end of this guide, you will be able to call the Energy API’s latest-price endpoint for the TTF_GAS symbol, parse the response fields you actually need, and ship a robust integration that respects units, currencies, and plan limits.

What the endpoint returns and when to use it

The latest endpoint provides the most recent price snapshot for the requested symbol(s), plus a date stamp and a per-symbol currency code. For TTF Gas (symbol code TTF_GAS), this is the canonical way to pull the current reference price you need for valuation or risk checks in finance workflows.

Use it when you want: - The current TTF_GAS price as a single request, without building historical windows. - A date-aligned price and currency so your application can perform conversions or reporting. - A simple, reliable read of rates.TTF_GAS and dates.TTF_GAS for auditability.

Origin catalog facts

Copying the official catalog facts exactly as provided:

• Symbol name: TTF Gas
• Symbol code: TTF_GAS
• Unit: EUR/MWh
• Auth: api_key query parameter. Placeholder YOUR_API_KEY only.
• Do not pass base=USD when you also need TTF_GAS or EUA_CO2.
• No MCP host. Starter $19.99/mo, trial 7 days / 50 calls.
• curl: curl -G "https://energy-api.com/api/v1/latest" --data-urlencode "symbols=TTF_GAS" --data-urlencode "api_key=YOUR_API_KEY"
• Read rates.TTF_GAS, dates.TTF_GAS, currencies.TTF_GAS. base may be MIXED.

Important scope note: Energy owns Brent and TTF as H1 symbols. This guide focuses exclusively on TTF_GAS, per the title and finance integration focus.

Quickstart: curl request and live sample

Here is the official cURL you can paste in a shell. It targets the live latest endpoint and authenticates via an api_key query parameter. Replace ONLY YOUR_API_KEY with your key after you Register.

curl -G "https://energy-api.com/api/v1/latest" --data-urlencode "symbols=TTF_GAS" --data-urlencode "api_key=YOUR_API_KEY"

Official sample response (copy-pasteable JSON):

{
"success": true,
"date": "2026-07-01",
"base": "USD",
"rates": {
"TTF_GAS": 17.93
},
"dates": {
"TTF_GAS": "2026-07-01"
},
"currencies": {
"TTF_GAS": "USD"
},
"base_filter_note": null
}

You do not need to pass a base parameter for TTF_GAS. The API will return the current price, a date stamp, and the currency code associated with the symbol in this snapshot.

Field-by-field breakdown

For finance workflows, you typically read three object paths plus the top-level date:

• rates.TTF_GAS: numeric latest price of TTF Gas.
• dates.TTF_GAS: date for this symbol’s price (YYYY-MM-DD).
• currencies.TTF_GAS: currency code for the value you received.
• date (top-level): the response date context.

Because you must not pass base=USD for TTF_GAS, accept whatever currency code is returned for the symbol and handle conversion in your application if needed. The catalog notes that base may be MIXED; do not enforce a single base currency client-side when requesting TTF_GAS or EUA_CO2.

Official sample repeated here so you can keep it close to the mapping logic you write:

{
"success": true,
"date": "2026-07-01",
"base": "USD",
"rates": {
"TTF_GAS": 17.93
},
"dates": {
"TTF_GAS": "2026-07-01"
},
"currencies": {
"TTF_GAS": "USD"
},
"base_filter_note": null
}

Minimal extraction you would persist for P&L or valuation tables:

• instrument: TTF_GAS
• price: 17.93
• price_currency: USD
• price_date: 2026-07-01

Production-ready Python example

This Python snippet calls the same endpoint, validates the presence of the required fields, and returns a typed object that you can hand off to your valuation or risk modules. It avoids adding a base parameter per the TTF_GAS rule.

import os
import sys
import json
import urllib.parse
import urllib.request

API_URL = "https://energy-api.com/api/v1/latest"
API_KEY = os.getenv("ENERGY_API_KEY", "YOUR_API_KEY") # Replace via env or keep the placeholder for testing
SYMBOL = "TTF_GAS"

def fetch_latest_ttf():
params = {
"symbols": SYMBOL,
"api_key": API_KEY
}
url = API_URL + "?" + urllib.parse.urlencode(params)
req = urllib.request.Request(url, method="GET")
try:
with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=10) as resp:
body = resp.read().decode("utf-8")
data = json.loads(body)
except Exception as e:
raise RuntimeError(f"Request failed: {e}")

if not isinstance(data, dict) or not data.get("success"):
raise ValueError("API returned a non-success response or malformed payload")

rates = data.get("rates", {})
dates = data.get("dates", {})
currencies = data.get("currencies", {})

if SYMBOL not in rates or SYMBOL not in dates or SYMBOL not in currencies:
raise KeyError("Expected TTF_GAS keys missing from rates/dates/currencies")

return {
"instrument": SYMBOL,
"price": float(rates[SYMBOL]),
"price_currency": str(currencies[SYMBOL]),
"price_date": str(dates[SYMBOL]),
"response_date": str(data.get("date")),
"base_field": data.get("base")
}

if __name__ == "__main__":
quote = fetch_latest_ttf()
# Example: integrate with your finance engine here
print(json.dumps(quote, indent=2))

Notes for finance integration:

• Do not add a base parameter to this request for TTF_GAS.
• Store the per-symbol currency you receive and perform conversions in your own FX layer if required by reporting.
• Persist price_date and response_date so you can reconcile values across jobs and backfills.

Units, base currency, and finance integration notes

Per the catalog, TTF Gas is quoted in EUR/MWh. The response also carries a currencies.TTF_GAS field. In some responses, the API may indicate a base of MIXED; you still read currencies.TTF_GAS to know which currency to treat as the quote currency for that price. You should not pass base=USD when requesting TTF_GAS.

In your finance stack, choose one of these patterns:

• Store canonical prices as-is with instrument currency tagging. Convert only at reporting time using your FX source.
• Convert at ingestion using your FX rates of record, and store both the original value plus your converted value for auditability.

If your dashboard expects EUR/MWh specifically, verify currencies.TTF_GAS before display. If your risk engine uses a base reporting currency (for example, USD), perform a conversion step after reading the latest snapshot fields.

Here is the full JSON again so you can cross-check currency handling logic while coding:

{
"success": true,
"date": "2026-07-01",
"base": "USD",
"rates": {
"TTF_GAS": 17.93
},
"dates": {
"TTF_GAS": "2026-07-01"
},
"currencies": {
"TTF_GAS": "USD"
},
"base_filter_note": null
}

Deployment checklist, limits, and FAQ

Deployment checklist

• Authentication: pass api_key as a query parameter exactly as shown (YOUR_API_KEY placeholder in samples; replace with your real key after you Register).
• Endpoint and method: GET https://energy-api.com/api/v1/latest with symbols=TTF_GAS.
• Do not pass base=USD for TTF_GAS (or EUA_CO2). Accept the currency returned in currencies.TTF_GAS.
• Field reads to implement: rates.TTF_GAS, dates.TTF_GAS, currencies.TTF_GAS, plus the top-level date.
• Persistence: store instrument, price, price_currency, price_date, response_date. This supports downstream P&L and audit.
• Caching: if you call on frequent intervals, cache the last successful payload and dedupe by price_date to avoid unnecessary downstream recalculations.
• Backoff: implement simple retry/backoff on network errors at the HTTP layer. If you see an unsuccessful success flag, log and alert.
• Plan: Starter is $19.99/month with a 7-day trial capped at 50 calls. Budget your call frequency accordingly.

FAQ

How do I authenticate?
Use the api_key query parameter. Do not add headers for auth. The placeholder is YOUR_API_KEY in all examples.

Which fields should I read for TTF_GAS?
Use rates.TTF_GAS for the numeric price, dates.TTF_GAS for the price date, and currencies.TTF_GAS for the currency code. Optionally persist the top-level date and base fields for context.

Should I pass a base currency?
No. Do not pass base=USD when requesting TTF_GAS (or EUA_CO2). The response includes per-symbol currencies so your system can handle conversion if needed.

What unit is TTF_GAS priced in?
The catalog specifies EUR/MWh for TTF Gas. Always check currencies.TTF_GAS in the response and handle conversions within your finance pipeline if your reporting currency differs.

Are there pagination or multi-symbol concerns?
This guide focuses on a single symbol call. If you add symbols, still read rates, dates, and currencies by each symbol key returned. Refer to the Documentation for multi-symbol details.
