EskomSePushAPI

A Swift Wrapper for the EskomSePush load-shedding API 2.0

language Swift 5.8

EskomSePush API access requires a paid API Subscription (or the free* version for 50 requests per day). You can purchase an API key on Gumroad. You must agree to the EskomSePush API License Agreement.

  • If running the included EskomSePushAPITests, you can provide your own token in EskomSePushAPITests.Constants.API.token
  • You must provide your own token when calling this API, in the EskomSePushAPI.init():
    • Each Token is allocated a Quota (typically Daily usage); once this usage has been exceeded; requests will be blocked until quota is available
    • Do not share your Token
    • You should only be doing requests from a single IP (not multiple simultaneously)
    • Each individual must have their own Token linked to a valid email address
  • *The free version is not for Business

EskomSePush Features:

  • Real time status for National Loadshedding
  • Real time status per Area, Upcoming Events & Schedule
  • Areas Search by Text
  • Areas Nearby by GPS coordinates
  • User Generated Topics by approx GPS location

Swift EskomSePushAPI Features:

  • Status: The current and next loadshedding statuses for South Africa and (Optional) municipal overrides
  • Area Information: This single request has everything you need to monitor upcoming loadshedding events for the chosen suburb.
  • Area Nearby (GPS): Find areas based on GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude).
  • Areas Search (Text): Search for an area based on text.
  • Topics Nearby: Find topics created by users based on GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude). Can use this to detect if there is a potential outage/problem nearby.
  • Check Allowance: Check allowance allocated for token. NOTE: This call doesn't count towards your quota.
