`urdb_rate_detail`

Pack: openei-urdb · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openei-urdb/mcp

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/urdb_rate_detail for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Get the FULL structure of one US electricity tariff by its URDB label — every energy-charge tier and time-of-use period, the 12x24 month-by-hour period schedules for weekdays and weekends, demand charges, flat demand by month, minimum monthly charge, voltage category and service type. This is what you need to actually compute a bill. Labels come from urdb_search_rates.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`label`	string	yes	URDB rate label (24-char hex id) from urdb_search_rates, e.g. “539f6b25ec4f024411ec98c9”
`_apiKey`	string	no	Your own free NREL API key. Optional — the shared DEMO_KEY works at a low rate limit.
