Nord Pool Intraday Trading API (WebSocket/STOMP)

Version 1.0

Nord Pool's Intraday Trading API is a genuine WebSocket API. Clients open secure WebSocket connections (port 443) and speak STOMP over them to two web services - a Market Data service (public market data streams such as contracts, order books / local views, capacities, delivery areas, and tickers) and a Trading service (order entry, modification, and private execution/trade reports) - for continuous intraday power trading on the Nord Pool platform. Authentication uses a token issued by Nord Pool's SSO for API credentials provisioned by Nord Pool (idapi@nordpoolgroup.com); access requires being a Nord Pool trading customer. Nord Pool also ships a newer Intraday Binary PMD v2 market-data feed over WebSockets using Protocol Buffers. This AsyncAPI document is MODELED - the WebSocket+STOMP transport, dual Market Data / Trading connections, heartbeats, and token refresh are confirmed from Nord Pool's public GitHub examples (NordPool/public-intraday-api and NordPool/public-intraday-api-example) and the developer portal, but exact host names are environment-specific and provided during onboarding, and channel names below are representative rather than verbatim. Consult https://developers.nordpoolgroup.com/ for the authoritative topic list.

    Nord Pool's Intraday Trading API is a genuine WebSocket API. Clients open
    secure WebSocket connections (port 443) and speak STOMP over them to two
    web services - a Market Data service (public market data streams such as
    contracts, order books / local views, capacities, delivery areas, and
    tickers) and a Trading service (order entry, modification, and private
    execution/trade reports) - for continuous intraday power trading on the
    Nord Pool platform. Authentication uses a token issued by Nord Pool's SSO
    for API credentials provisioned by Nord Pool (idapi@nordpoolgroup.com);
    access requires being a Nord Pool trading customer. Nord Pool also ships a
    newer Intraday Binary PMD v2 market-data feed over WebSockets using
    Protocol Buffers. This AsyncAPI document is MODELED - the WebSocket+STOMP
    transport, dual Market Data / Trading connections, heartbeats, and token
    refresh are confirmed from Nord Pool's public GitHub examples
    (NordPool/public-intraday-api and NordPool/public-intraday-api-example)
    and the developer portal, but exact host names are environment-specific

  x-transport-notes: >-
    Transport is WebSocket (wss, port 443) carrying STOMP frames - this is a
    true bidirectional WebSocket API, unlike HTTP streaming or SSE. Clients
    maintain STOMP heartbeats and refresh SSO access tokens over the live
    connection. Hosts are per-environment (test and production) and are
    issued to onboarded trading customers, so placeholder hosts are used
    below.
