Instructions

Step	Description
1	Retrieve announcements Create an API integration with the Swagger UI endpoint to retrieve redispatch announcements. It is recommended to poll this endpoint every five minutes using the appropriate filters for your use case. The ‘starttime’ and ‘endtime’ filters use Unix Epoch timestamps in milliseconds. These filters are applied to the announcement's ‘createDate’ field. Note: No authentication is required for this endpoint. Location: `https://idcons.gopacs-services.eu/machineannouncements`
2	Generate an API key To access authenticated redispatch API endpoints, you first need to generate an API key in GOPACS. Sign in to GOPACS. Open the User Menu in the top-right corner. Select ‘Settings’. Click ‘Generate a New API Key’. Store the generated API key securely, as it will be required in the next step.
3	Retrieve asset effectiveness Create an API integration with this Swagger UI endpoint to determine how effectively your assets can help resolve a specific congestion issue. Authenticate your requests using the API key generated in Step 2. Use the announcementId obtained from the announcements endpoint described in Step 1. Location: `https://idcons.gopacs-services.eu/public-api/announcements/{id}/eansolvingeffectivity` Replace `{id}` with the relevant announcement ID.
