Fetch German energy day-ahead spot prices at 15-minute resolution for a given date range. Returns timestamped prices in EUR/MWh from the EPEX SPOT market for the specified bidding zone. Data is sourced weekly; the endpoint fetches all relevant weekly chunks and filters to the requested range. Each request makes 1 index call plus 1 data call per overlapping week (typically 1-2 for a week-long range).
