 # 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.
+A lightweight **ASP.NET Core Web API** that automatically scrapes **day-ahead electricity prices from IBEX (Independent Bulgarian Energy Exchange)** and stores them in a remote SQL Server 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

+* Access daily price data without scraping IBEX directly

 ## 📊 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)
+* Scrapes **IBEX Day Ahead** prices for the next day
+* Extracts hourly energy prices (BGN/MWh)
+* Saves results into a `MarketPrices` table with:
+
+  * `Date` (format: `dd/MM/yyyy`)
+  * `Hour` (1–24 using EET/EEST timezone)
+  * `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)

+* Prices are updated daily after **14:00 BG time (UTC+3)** when IBEX publishes the next day’s market prices
+* Data scraping is triggered by calling:
+
+  ```
+  POST /api/Scrape/scrape-and-save
+  ```
+* Only stores **new** data (prevents duplicate entries for the same date/hour)
