Octopus Tracker IOS Shortcut

[Leejmoff]

For those who use the Octopus Tracker Shortcut on their iphones, have you noticed the Electricity price isn't now showing, just the Gas ?

Anyone else managed to fix it at all? I tried to find out how to, but not coming up with anything unfortunately.

I use this, but it’s not updated until about 11am for the following day.

I'll see if I can get mine working today, it's now using a different API endpoint which is a pain, I'll share what to change if I sort it / get time to look

Please do, I’d be interested to see this.

ah thank you. I tried changing the API endpoint as I saw it had changed, but I think that is for new tracker deals or something.

Anyway, any help getting it working again would be great. its such a great idea for those tracking

Yes I had noticed it's not been working for a few days now for electric.

Mind you I've been on io for a while, but I still keep a track of the costs.

Struggling to find the API with the correct price, the original API won’t return anything and the same product name with the /products url is out of date as of December.

The new API returns the new, more robust expensive prices

Found the right API now, but will need to figure out if that shortcut can be fixed, as it was looking for something else

https://api.octopus.energy/v1/products/SILVER-FLEX-22-11-25/electricity-tariffs/E-1R-SILVER-FLEX-22-11-25-A/standard-unit-rates/

Adjust of course to whatever region you are in

is this just for electric? I have one for both Gas and Electric.

That ones just electric, but struggling to get it to work tbh, no amount of ChaptGPT is helping so far - when/if I figure this out, I can just copy the same for the gas

Found on reddit try this (edit for your location):

Shortcuts still using the 22-11-25

And this one for the new tracker rate:

Shortcuts using the new 23-12-06 rate

Octopus have put the price up on the new tracker and will probably raise prices for us all soon.

Aha!

Thanks @Hook with a working one to use, I've managed to adjust that to get todays price

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/c74c4a6c474049b992c53b9a1c0c667b

<- Octopus Electric Tracker - Region A

@Leejmoff and @OfficialMark_H see if that works for you? - You'll need to change the A in the URL accordingly, but the price is now correct and it works - I'll sort the gas one shortly.

 

[DaveW]

Gas (again change from region A)

I've left it to rounding up

you sir are a legend, thank you.

Just wondering is there a way to put them both into one notification? I'm no good with these shortcuts business.

I’m sure it’s entirely possible, as the tomorrow example linked bought back two values the price and the difference - if I get the time I’ll try and combine them

Both worked great this morning so massive thanks.

@Leejmoff

Octopus Tracker electric and gas shortcut (old rate, not new customer rate)

You'll need to change the region, but seems to work well

Hi there, I find these shortcuts very useful and have been looking to update mine.

The latest ones posted above - these still seem to use the old prices or am I missing something? The shortcuts when I download use 22-11-25 in the api call, where I thought the new prices should use 23-12-06?

I’m not very technical so could be wrong
