As you suggest, it's time dependent, so goes hand-in-hand with downloading the outturn data.
Via the API, it's a case of adding extra_fields=installed_capacity_mwp to the URL params.
Via the Python lib, it's a case of specifying the extra_fields arg when calling one of the download methods e.g.
from datetime import datetime
import pytz
from pvlive_api import PV_Live
pvl = PVLive()
data = pvl.between(
start=datetime(2015, 1, 1, 0, 30, tzinfo=pytz.utc),
end=datetime(2021, 1, 1, tzinfo=pytz.utc),
extra_fields="installedcapacity_mwp",
dataframe=True
)data.sort_values("datetime_gmt") then looks like:
pes_id datetime_gmt generation_mw installedcapacity_mwp

[105198 rows x 4 columns]N.B. data is not sorted by default, hence calling .sort_values("datetime_gmt")
A full list of "extra fields" that are available is in the API docs, see here.

It would be great if there was an endpoint that got the "install capacity". Perhaps this would be time dependent.
** if there is already, and just not the python code, then let me know, and I can add the (try) code
p.s. I live have you have used units in the variable names, i.e" installed_capacity_mw" or maybe it 'mwp'?
