Can we get access to the OVO energy online account API to download our smart meter usage data?

Just looking at the code and this needs a failure breakout rather than keep retrying. Has a check been added with Cloudflare being put in front of the API? I’m just wondering what caused the credentials to fail in the first place as they haven’t changed in over a year. I have them in Bitwarden.

I’ll have to brush up on my Python and submit a PR

    """Authenticate with OVO Energy."""
    [client, client_session] = loop.run_until_complete(
        _setup_client(username, password)
    )

    bootstrap_accounts = loop.run_until_complete(client.bootstrap_accounts())

    typer.secho(
        asdict(bootstrap_accounts),
        fg=typer.colors.GREEN,
    )

    loop.run_until_complete(client_session.close())

There are ways of testing it - GitHub Codespaces is pretty useful and easy to fire up.

If you think you can fix Timmo’s code, by all means please do. But you can’t bash OVO for trying to prevent hackers from getting in.

I was never bashing OVO for blocking hackers, I had mistakenly believed that Timmo was an OVO employee. 

Me fixing Timmo’s code is a stretch as being a typical DevOps I tend to dip in and out of python, Go, terraform, cloudformation, helm charts and ansible. I’m going to try and add an exception to it 

I can see there are two similar topics, I wonder if this thread has any helpful advice:

Thanks for the app @MikeWilliams . I’ve downloaded V1.0.2.

I found I had to run the program as admin otherwise it wouldn’t work. This may be a “feature” of my current W11 setup, but I just wondered whether it might be worth mentioning in your README?

Also, when running for the first time, an exception was raised; here is the data from the log:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at OvoData.Helpers.SqliteHelper.UpsertMonthly(String fuelType, List`1 items) in C:\Dev\Mike\GitHub\My-Ovo-Data\Helpers\SqliteHelper.cs:line 114
   at OvoData.MainWindow.OnClick_Read(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) in C:\Dev\Mike\GitHub\My-Ovo-Data\MainWindow.xaml.cs:line 189
 

I suspect that Windows 11 is not allowing the program to create the folder C:\ProgramData\OvoData
Please use admin account to create it and assign full permissions to all users

I had already created the folder, but the permissions weren’t set to the full control (although the logs folder and the .db file had been created).

So, I cleared out the contents of the OvoData folder, changed the permissions to allow Full Control and Modify, and reran your app. But got exactly the same exception. Again the Logs folder and the .db file have been created.

Anything else I can check for you?

Are you a Gas only customer?

I already fixed an issue for Electricity Only customers last with the aid of @Firedog

Mike: Electricity only. Economy 7 also, but that probably isn’t relevant. Thanks. 

Can you post all the log file lines from the last beginning “Uri:” until the exception?
Be careful to mask out your account number with *****
