Dear Customer,
To better support your trading activities and data management, we are pleased to inform you about today's introduction of new real-time EEX Group DataSource products and functionalities through a revamped REST API technology: our v2 of the REST API.
Enhanced real-time product selection with more granular entitlement options
A selection of additional real-time EEX Market Data products is now accessible through our revamped EEX Group DataSource REST API (v2). While the technology only supported product bundles across all European EEX market areas, you can now choose individual EEX power and natural gas market area products.
Additionally, we continue to offer a variety of product options for our other EEX commodities.
Check out our EEX Group Webshop to see all new products.
Later in 2026, we will make it even more flexible for you and, in addition to the bundles launched today for each market area, we will also offer separate EEX Group DataSource products for top-of-book and trades, as well as products for settlement prices and statistics.

What if I have an EEX Group DataSource product subscription via another application (ExcelTool, Desktop App, sFTP). Can I change to REST API (v2) and does EEX offer a fee waiver?
Yes, it is possible to change to a product with REST API (v2) connection. In case you have an existing ExcelTool or Desktop App subscription, the remaining costs of your subscription for the rest of the year would be refunded and replaced by the new subscription.
For customers of our existing market area-specific sFTP products for Power and for the sFTP product EEX Natural Gas (EoD), we are happy to offer a fee waiver for 2026. In this case, you can upgrade to the respective new market-specific REST API (v2) products free of charge and will only pay the list price from 2027 onwards.
Please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to accommodate your change of subscription.
Should you require any further information, please also do not hesitate to contact us.
