-# IBEX-Scraper-API
+# IBEX-Scraper-API
+
+A secure ASP.NET Core Web API that automatically scrapes **day-ahead prices from the Free Electricity Market (Day Ahead segment) on IBEX** and stores them in a structured Azure SQL database for use by external applications.
+
+## ⚡ Purpose
+
+This API was built to **decouple IBEX access from dependent systems** by providing a secure, reliable, and filterable data backend.
+
+It powers apps like [SunNext](https://github.com/JacksonJS12/SunNext) by allowing them to:
+- Access daily price data without scraping IBEX directly
+- Query historical electricity prices by date/hour
+- Build custom dashboards and energy trading strategies
+
+## 📊 What It Does
+
+- Scrapes **IBEX Day Ahead segment** prices for the next day
+- Extracts hourly energy prices (EUR/MWh)
+- Saves results into an Azure SQL `MarketPrices` table with:
+  - `Date` (e.g. `day/month/year`)
+  - `Hour` (1–24 using Central European Time – CET Time Zone)
+  - `PricePerMWh` (BGN/MWh)
+
+## 🕒 Scheduling
+
+- Powered by an **Azure Logic App** that triggers daily at **14:00 BG time (UTC+3)**
+- Calls the `POST /api/Scrape/scrape-and-save` endpoint
+- Only stores new data (prevents duplicate entries for the same day)
+
+## 🧱 Tech Stack
+
+- **Backend:** ASP.NET Core Web API (.NET 8)
+- **Scraper:** AngleSharp
+- **Database:** Azure SQL
+- **Scheduler:** Azure Logic Apps
+- **Deployment:** Azure App Service
+- **CI/CD:** GitHub Actions
