      description: '### This Endpoint is deprecated DEPRECATED


        “The new EUC endpoint "Get location energy usage categories (EUC)" should be used to get Energy Usage Categories instead. Eliq will continue to support this endpoint and will communicate a date when this endpoint will no longer be supported once a date has been set.”


        Get energy usage breakdown for a location.


        Energy usage is analyzed and broken down into a list of different usage categories. Energy Usage Categories helps homeowners to better understand their energy usage and learn what appliances consume the most energy.


        The endpoint returns 400 errors when there is an obvious implementation mistake and 501 errors when the error is caused by missing data. So please note that 501 errors are expected from this endpoint and this needs to be handled on the client side. All possible errors are listed below.


        `NOTE!` For cost to be available as a unit type, the location prices must be set in our database. If no location prices are available there will be an error response.


        `NOTE!` As default the from and to date are always rounded down to the nearest start of the month and returns full months. Max one month can be return in each call. However for locations that have daily data it is also possible to request EUC between two dates. We support a range between 28 - 31 days. Please set the custom_period to true to make this call.


        ### Data requirements

        **Required data**


        * Monthly data: Minimum 1 month

        * Geo location: Address information

        * Home profile: Minimum house type


        **Optional (improved accuracy)**


        * Hourly data: Minimum 30 days of hourly´or sub-hourly data
