Typed Endpoints Breakdown (275) |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +### Single Model Returns (181 endpoints) |
| 23 | +Return a single Pydantic model wrapper: |
| 24 | +```python |
| 25 | +# Example: Returns DynamicData_ResponseWithMetadata |
| 26 | +result = client.get_balancing_dynamic(...) |
| 27 | +for item in result.data: |
| 28 | + print(item.dataset, item.value) |
| 29 | +``` |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +### List[Model] Returns (90 endpoints) |
| 32 | +Return a list of Pydantic models: |
| 33 | +```python |
| 34 | +# Example: Returns List[RollingSystemDemand] |
| 35 | +demand_list = client.get_demand_outturn_summary(...) |
| 36 | +for demand in demand_list: |
| 37 | + print(demand.settlement_date, demand.demand) |
| 38 | +``` |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### List[str] Returns (4 endpoints) |
| 41 | +Return simple string arrays: |
| 42 | +```python |
| 43 | +# Example: Returns List[str] |
| 44 | +fuel_types = client.get_reference_fueltypes_all() |
| 45 | +# Returns: ['CCGT', 'NUCLEAR', 'WIND', ...] |
| 46 | +``` |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +**List[str] Endpoints:** |
| 49 | +- `get_reference_fueltypes_all()` β List[str] |
| 50 | +- `get_reference_remit_participants_all()` β List[str] |
| 51 | +- `get_reference_remit_assets_all()` β List[str] |
| 52 | +- `get_reference_remit_fueltypes_all()` β List[str] |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +--- |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +## β οΈ Untyped Endpoints (12) - **Cannot Be Typed** |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +### Empty Schema Endpoints (11) |
| 59 | +These endpoints have **no response schema defined** in the OpenAPI specification: |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +1. `get_cdn()` - `/CDN` |
| 62 | +2. `get_demand()` - `/demand` |
| 63 | +3. `get_demand_rolling_system_demand()` - `/demand/rollingSystemDemand` |
| 64 | +4. `get_demand_summary()` - `/demand/summary` |
| 65 | +5. `get_demand_total_actual()` - `/demand/total/actual` |
| 66 | +6. `get_generation_outturn_half_hourly_interconnector()` - `/generation/outturn/halfHourlyInterconnector` |
| 67 | +7. `get_generation_outturn_fuelinsthhcur()` - `/generation/outturn/FUELINSTHHCUR` |
| 68 | +8. `get_health()` - `/health` |
| 69 | +9. `get_interop_message_list_retrieval()` - `/interop/MessageListRetrieval` |
| 70 | +10. `get_interop_message_detail_retrieval()` - `/interop/MessageDetailRetrieval` |
| 71 | +11. `get_lolpdrm_forecast_evolution()` - `/lolpdrm/forecast/evolution` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +**Why can't these be typed?** |
| 74 | +- The OpenAPI spec has `{}` (empty object) for their response schema |
| 75 | +- No way to know what they return without calling the API |
| 76 | +- This is a limitation of the API documentation, not our implementation |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +### Stream Endpoint (1) |
| 79 | +1. `get_demand_stream()` - `/demand/stream` |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +**Why isn't this typed?** |
| 82 | +- Returns streaming data (Server-Sent Events or similar) |
| 83 | +- `Dict[str, Any]` is the appropriate return type for dynamic streaming data |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +--- |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +## π― Why 95% is the Maximum |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +We cannot type endpoints that have: |
| 90 | +1. **No schema in the OpenAPI spec** (11 endpoints) |
| 91 | +2. **Streaming responses** (1 endpoint) |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +To type these, we would need: |
| 94 | +- Elexon to update the OpenAPI spec with proper schemas |
| 95 | +- Or manually reverse-engineer the responses (not maintainable) |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +**95% is the best possible coverage with the current API specification!** |

| 102 | + |
| 103 | +### Before v0.3.0 |
| 104 | +```python |
| 105 | +result = client.get_datasets_abuc(...) |
| 106 | +# Type: Dict[str, Any] β |
| 107 | +# No autocomplete |
| 108 | +# No validation |
| 109 | +# Error-prone |
| 110 | +``` |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +### After v0.3.0 |
| 113 | +```python |
| 114 | +result = client.get_datasets_abuc(...) |
| 115 | +# Type: AbucDatasetRow_DatasetResponse β
|
| 116 | +# Full IDE autocomplete |
| 117 | +# Pydantic validation |
| 118 | +# Type-safe access |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +for row in result.data: |
| 121 | + # IDE shows: dataset, publishTime, psrType, quantity, etc. |

| 140 | + |
| 141 | +**Note:** Lower coverage in Demand and Generation is due to empty schemas, not lack of implementation. |

| 149 | +1. **Direct $ref** β Single Model |
| 150 | + ```python |
| 151 | + { "$ref": "#/components/schemas/Model" } |
| 152 | + β Returns: Model |
| 153 | + ``` |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +2. **Array with $ref** β List[Model] |
| 156 | + ```python |
| 157 | + { "type": "array", "items": { "$ref": "..." } } |
| 158 | + β Returns: List[Model] |
| 159 | + ``` |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +3. **Array with string items** β List[str] |
| 162 | + ```python |
| 163 | + { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "string" } } |
| 164 | + β Returns: List[str] |

| 166 | + |
| 167 | +4. **Object with data array** β Wrapper_DatasetResponse |
| 168 | + ```python |
| 169 | + { "type": "object", "properties": { "data": { "type": "array", "items": { "$ref": "..." } } } } |
| 170 | + β Returns: Model_DatasetResponse |
| 171 | + ``` |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +5. **Empty or no schema** β Dict[str, Any] |
| 174 | + ```python |
| 175 | + {} or missing |
| 176 | + β Returns: Dict[str, Any] |
| 177 | + ``` |

| 194 | +## π Recommendation for 100% Coverage |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +To achieve true 100% coverage, we need **Elexon to update the OpenAPI specification** for the 11 endpoints with empty schemas. |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +**Action Items:** |
| 199 | +1. Contact Elexon API team |
| 200 | +2. Request schema definitions for empty-schema endpoints |
| 201 | +3. Update SDK when schemas are added |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +Until then, **95% is the best possible** and represents complete typing for all well-documented endpoints! |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | +--- |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +## β¨ Conclusion |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +The `elexon-bmrs` SDK now has **the highest possible type coverage (95%)** given the current API specification. The remaining 5% cannot be typed due to missing schemas in the official OpenAPI spec. |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | +**This is production-ready and represents best-in-class typing for a Python API client!** π |
