Eskom Loadshedding API

A basic (in-progress) api to expose the Eskom loadshedding endpoints. Typescript ready!

Usage / Examples

Get the current status

import { Status, LoadsheddingStage } from 'eskom-loadshedding-api';
 
Status.getStatus().then((status: LoadsheddingStage) => console.log('Current status: ', status));

Check if currently loadshedding

import { Status, LoadsheddingStage } from 'eskom-loadshedding-api';
 
Status.getStatus().then((status) => console.log('Is currently loadshedding?', status !== LoadsheddingStage.NOT_LOADSHEDDING));

Search for municipalities

import { Search, Province, Municipality } from 'eskom-loadshedding-api';
 
Search.getMunicipalities(Province.WESTERN_CAPE).then((municipalities: Municipality[]) =>
    console.log(
        'Western Cape municipalities:',
        municipalities.map((el: Municipality) => el.name)
    )
);

Search for suburbs in municipalities

import { Search, Suburb } from 'eskom-loadshedding-api';
 
Search.getMunicipalitySuburbs(336 /* Beauford West's id */, 'Aard' /* Search term */).then((suburbs: Suburb[]) => console.log('Filterd suburbs in Beaufort West:', suburbs));

Search for suburbs in SA

import { Search, SearchSuburb } from 'eskom-loadshedding-api';
 
Search.searchSuburbs('Ashton').then((results: SearchSuburb[]) => console.log('Searching for "Ashton":', results));

Get Schedule for suburb

import { LoadsheddingStage, LoadsheddingSchedule, Schedule } from 'eskom-loadshedding-api';
 
Schedule.getSchedule(62648 /* Beeldhoursfontein, Beauford West */, LoadsheddingStage.STAGE_1).then((schedule: LoadsheddingSchedule) => console.log(JSON.stringify(schedule, null, 4)));
 
Schedule.getFullSchedule(62648).then((schedules: LoadsheddingSchedule[]) => console.log(JSON.stringify(schedules, null, 4)));
