API technical renewable potential #306

Closed Julie231113 closed 8 months ago

Julie231113 commented 1 year ago

Dear Mrs/Mr, I tried to use the API to retrieve the renewable technical potential for a given location, however I have the feeling that the documentation https://developer.nrel.gov/docs/energy-optimization/rede-technical-potential/#endpoints is not pointing to the updated version of the server. Could you help me to make the API work ?

Best, Julie

I'll need to research this. The endpoints are in theory still deployed as documented, however I ran a quick test and did receive a 502 Bad Gateway response. I'll see what I can find out.

@Julie231113 The version of this technical potential analysis tool as documented has been updated in the RE Data Explorer, and these docs are no longer accurate. However, there is a far better tool available now for running your own technical potential analysis via code which is NREL's reV Technical Potential analysis tool. reV installation and usage documentation can be found at https://nrel.github.io/reV/index.html.. This is in fact the library that now sites behind the RE Data Explorer UI based tool.

I've updated our docs to reflect this as well: https://developer.nrel.gov/docs/energy-optimization/rede-technical-potential/
