Get a served probabilistic forecast
Read /api/v1/grid/forecast-capabilities for published models, variables, markets, target kinds, horizons, quantiles and vintage modes. Select a source or model and variable; requests without selectors remain price reads. Metis 1 Preview currently serves price at settlement points: hubs (HB_), load zones (LZ_) and resource nodes use targetKind=node. Other registered variables use their published native targets and units. Omitting both dates on a latest read returns the requested horizon. Each point carries the point forecast and compatibility p10/p50/p90 fields, plus requested published levels in levels; source.quantiles names the returned set. Where available, bucketProbabilities and distributionSupports describe the full interval distribution. These are marginal distributions per interval, not joint scenarios. vintageMode=historical-comparison stitches no-hindsight vintages for evaluation, each settled target from the earliest run that covered it; vintageMode=latest-before stitches the newest run issued before each settled target, or at least leadHours before it. vintageMode=auction-matched returns, for each delivery interval whose day-ahead auction has closed, the newest run issued at or before that market's day-ahead deadline: the forecast a day-ahead bidder could have used. Historical windows are capped at 48 hours; auction-matched and latest-before with leadHours at 8 days. detail=levels omits bucket probabilities and supports.

Query parameters
Serving source id from forecast capability discovery.
Stable model id; the returned modelVersion and modelHash identify its serving build.
price, load or generation, subject to serving capabilities. Existing requests default to price.
Forward hours, bounded by the selected source. Used to construct the window when both from and to are omitted.
Comma-separated published levels, e.g. 0.05,0.5,0.95. Compatibility p10/p50/p90 fields remain available.
