Description
Hello!
I have noticed in Denmark that the national electricity grid manager provides an API to track, among other things, the evolution of the energy mix in realtime: https://www.energidataservice.dk/tso-electricity/DeclarationGridmix
I was thinking of using this data source as a replacement for global_energy_mix.json, when computing CO2 emissions.
Have you already considered a method for people to include different APIs of this kind as plugins? I noticed another related question regarding using ElectricityMap, but it would be interesting to incorporate data from freely accessible API than rely on commercial ones.
cheers,
Étienne

Research direction
Start with global_energy_mix.json and the Denmark grid-mix API linked in the issue. Review the related ElectricityMap discussion before determining whether the request is for a plugin mechanism or a single data-source integration; the issue is complete only after that scope and a way to incorporate freely accessible energy-mix APIs are agreed.
