# Frequenz Assets API

[![Build Status](https://github.com/frequenz-floss/frequenz-api-assets/actions/workflows/ci.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/frequenz-floss/frequenz-api-assets/actions/workflows/ci.yaml)

## Overview

The Frequenz Platform Assets API allows for the retrieval of platform assets information. Unlike CRUD-centric
APIs, the focus here is on accessing already registered assets ranging from microgrids and gridpools to
individual components within these structures, such as sensors and their respective electrical connections.

## Objective

The main objective is to enable the building of intelligent cloud applications that can orchestrate and manage
microgrids and gridpools for various purposes. This includes discharging batteries in a coordinated manner
across multiple microgrids, optimizing spot market trading based on real-time grid consumption, and more.

## Key Features

- Asset Retrieval: Provides programmatic access to a wide range of platform assets, including microgrids,
gridpools, components, sensors, and connections.
- Data-Driven Optimization: Facilitates the development of applications that can read asset information and
statuses for real-time decision making.
- Scheduling Insights: Enables applications to understand and adapt to gridpool schedules for improved spot
market trading.

## Scope and Limitations

- Retrieval of detailed asset data for various entities such as microgrids, gridpools, and their components.
- Enabling advanced analytics and data-driven decisions for cloud applications.
- Read-Only: The API is designed for data retrieval and doesn't support CRUD operations for assets.
- Dependence on Platform: The quality and timeliness of data are dependent on the capabilities of the underlying platform.

## Target Audience

The API is primarily geared towards cloud application developers focused on building intelligent software
solutions for orchestrating microgrid operations or facilitating gridpool trading.
