   Do I have any UK followers who use #Octopus energy, are on the Agile tariff and access it via the REST API? It seems to be returning no new data since 11pm last night...

   https://api.octopus.energy/v1/products/AGILE-FLEX-22-11-25/electricity-tariffs/E-1R-AGILE-FLEX-22-11-25-H/standard-unit-rates/?period_from=2025-01-02T00:00Z&period_to=2025-01-03T00:00Z

     @daniel As far as I can tell #Octopus has silently changed the tariff to AGILE-24-10-01 so I have changed my displays to use https://api.octopus.energy/v1/products/AGILE-24-10-01/electricity-tariffs/E-1R-AGILE-24-10-01-H/standard-unit-rates/

     No reply from Octopus themselves yet though.

     @webmink it’s been down for me too. Historical data seems fine though. Future pricing also seems fine on my dashboard https://octopus.energy. Let me know if you find out what’s going on.

     @daniel I may be wrong of course - my API page still shows the old tariff - but I did not find it listed at https://api.octopus.energy/v1/products/ so picked the most likely suspect and found the prices matched the ones in the Octopus Android app...

     @daniel OK, I had a reply from Phil at #Octopus who tells me we are on tariff BB-24-04-03 and that the info at https://octopus.energy/dashboard/new/accounts/personal-details/api-access is actually wrong!

     @daniel They are, I think they are using the account API to get the tariff.

     I found discussion of the problem on the #Octopus forum: https://forum.octopus.energy/t/agile-api-prices-very-late-today/11338/20

     @webmink 😱
     I’m using Octopus Watch — I’ll have to check if their prices are correct.

     @daniel No, the Unit Rates URL on https://octopus.energy/dashboard/new/accounts/personal-details/api-access is showing the wrong tariff code - I gather Octopus now know and will fix it.

     @webmink I can’t access the forum. Are you saying the API is returning the wrong tariff?

     According to the account API, my tariff is 'E-1R-AGILE-24-10-01-D' and is valid until 2025-12-20.

     @webmink Any idea how I find what my correct tariff is though?

     @Edent Try:
     curl -u "sk_live_Your_API_Key" "https://api.octopus.energy/v1/accounts/A-YourAcctNumber/" with the obvious substitutions.

     This will return JSON with all your location details - look for the active tariff in the result.

     @Edent For example, https://api.octopus.energy/v1/products/AGILE-BB-24-10-01/electricity-tariffs/E-1R-AGILE-BB-24-10-01-H/standard-unit-rates/ seems to track the same prices as the tariff the API reports for us.
