How Shooju connects to ERCOT

Shooju connect to the data source you need either via one of 320+ prebuilt processors or set up a new one.

Shooju tailors the collection strategy to each dataset and business need. Critical data can be collected with near-real-time access where the source supports it, while broader datasets can run on a scheduled cadence with an appropriate embedded delay.

Here is how the process works for adding new data source to you new or existing energy data pipeline:

1. You send a new processor request to Shooju

2. Shooju evaluates the access method, format, update schedule, and downstream workflow before configuring the pipeline.

3. It usually takes from 2 to 8 days to scope, develop/adjust and set up a processor for data source you need.

4. Once connected, Shooju monitors ongoing ingestion, handles changes or failures, maintains the pipeline as part of managed delivery.

Normalization and metadata enrichment

Shooju maps source data into its proprietary data infrastructure and enriches it based on how your business uses it.This can include products, units, locations, zones, assets, timestamps, report dates, and internal naming conventions, so data can be used consistently across workflows.

Where the data can be delivered

Once collected and normalized, ERCOT data can be delivered into the systems and formats your team already uses, including:

  • Excel Add-in
  • REST API
  • Python
  • PowerBi
  • Snowflake/customer database
  • internal systems
  • Shooju Views / dashboards

What Shooju does not do

Shooju is not a data vendor and does not resell proprietary datasets. We help teams connect, normalize, monitor, and deliver the data sources they are entitled to use — including public sources, subscribed vendor feeds, and internal data.
