gridIQ API · Alerts
Webhooks for the Australian energy market.
Fire a webhook when price crosses a threshold, when a constraint binds, when a carbon threshold breaches, or when reserve margin thins to LOR. Slack, PagerDuty, Zapier, or your own endpoint. Alerts are included in every gridIQ API tier — no separate subscription.
What fires
- Price thresholds crossed in either direction, any NEM or WEM region, any interval
- Carbon intensity crossing a tCO₂/MWh threshold by region
- Demand peaks and rapid ramp signals
- Constraint bindings on named constraints with shadow-price thresholds
- Reserve / LOR conditions (LOR1 / LOR2 / LOR3 entries)
- Market events (negative prices, record renewables, major rebids) with AI causal analysis
