To communicate with the API you need to acquire a OAuth access token and pass this along with every request passed to the server.
A Personal Access Token give you access to your data and your data only. 
This is ideal for DIY people that want to leverage the Tibber platform to extend the smartness of their home. 
Such a token can be acquired here: https://developer.tibber.com

 

When creating your access token or OAuth client you’ll be asked which scopes you want the access token to be associated with. 
These scopes tells the API which data and operations the client is allowed to perfom on the user’s behalf. 

The scopes your app requires depend on the type of data it is trying to request. 
If you for example need access to user information you add the USER scope. 

If information about the users homes is needed you add the appropiate HOME scopes.

 

Tomorrow values are available from 13:00 hour

If you have more than one home in your subscription, you need to fill in your home number the change between your homes.
