U.S. Energy Information Administration + clariBI
Connect the U.S. EIA with your API key, choose the energy price series to sync, and get crude, gas and fuel prices sitting next to the costs and demand they drive.
Native U.S. EIA data-source connector.
Paste your EIA API key, pick the energy price series to track, and clariBI syncs their history into preprocessed datasets and auto-generated dashboards, right next to your other tools.
What is U.S. Energy Information Administration?
The U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes free, authoritative energy data, including spot prices for crude oil, natural gas, gasoline and other fuels.
clariBI reads the EIA through its v2 REST API using your own API key: the price history of the energy series you choose, such as WTI crude spot or Henry Hub natural gas. Access is read-only, and clariBI never changes anything in your account.

Connect U.S. Energy Information Administration in three steps
Open Data Sources in clariBI
In clariBI, go to Data Sources → Add Data Source, find the U.S. EIA, and paste your EIA API key (free from eia.gov/opendata). The key is Fernet-encrypted at rest.
Choose series and frequency
Enter the energy price series to track (for example RWTC for WTI crude spot), set the frequency, and choose how much history to pull. clariBI reads the prices read-only.
Sync, then get dashboards
clariBI syncs the price series, preprocesses them, and builds an insights dashboard. Ask "How did crude prices track our fuel costs?" and the AI engine queries the synced prices alongside your spend.
What you can analyze
Out of the box with the U.S. Energy Information Administration connector:
- Price per energy series over your chosen window
- Price trend and volatility by series
- Period-over-period change in a price
- Comparison across the series you track
- Energy price moves lined up with your cost dates
- Cross-source: crude and gas prices → input costs → margin
U.S. Energy Information Administration is one of many data sources you can connect to clariBI. See the full list →
What gets synced
clariBI pulls the price history of the energy series you select through the EIA v2 REST API, lands it as a preprocessed dataset, and refreshes it on your schedule. Access is read-only.
For each selected series, clariBI syncs the period and price, then builds an insights dashboard you can query, extend, or pull into reports.
clariBI only ever reads. It never changes anything in your EIA account.
Cross-source questions U.S. Energy Information Administration makes possible
U.S. Energy Information Administration data is most useful next to your other tools. clariBI's planner composes it with your CRM, billing, and product data through the same entity-join primitives that back every cross-source analysis.
EIA × Costs
"How much of our cost rise was the oil price?"
Planner: read WTI crude prices from the EIA, align to your input costs by date, and split the change into price versus volume.
EIA × Demand
"Did the gas-price spike dent our order volume?"
Planner: read the natural-gas spot price from the EIA, join to your order volume by week, and flag the periods that moved together.
U.S. Energy Information Administration connector FAQ
What do I need to connect the U.S. EIA?
A free EIA API key from eia.gov/opendata. You paste it into clariBI once; it is Fernet-encrypted at rest, and there is no OAuth popup or app to register.
Can clariBI change anything in the EIA?
No. The connector only reads the price history for the series you select. It never changes anything in your account.
Which clariBI plan includes the EIA connector?
Data-source connectors are available on the Trial, Starter, Professional, and Enterprise plans. You can connect the U.S. EIA during the free 14-day trial.
