About U.S. Energy Information Administration
The U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes free 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.
Vendor site: eia.gov/opendata
What clariBI syncs
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 once it is more than a day old. 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.
What you can chart
- 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
How to connect U.S. Energy Information Administration
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 stored encrypted.
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 clariBI reads the synced prices alongside your spend.
Questions you can ask
Asking in plain English uses AI credits, so it needs the trial or a Starter, Professional or Enterprise plan. Totals and trends are computed from the synced rows; the AI plans the question, picks the chart and writes the explanation.
- "How much of our cost rise was the oil price?"
- "Did the gas-price spike dent our order volume?"
About the U.S. Energy Information Administration connector
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 stored encrypted, 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.
