# Notice to Deliver Bids (NTB)

`GET /datasets/NTB`

This endpoint provides Notice to Deliver Bids data received from NGESO.
            
Notice to Deliver Bids (NTB) indicates the length of time between the issuing of a Bid-Offer Acceptance and the
time when a BM Unit begins to deliver Bid volumes, expressed in minutes.
            
By default, the from and to parameters filter the data by time inclusively. If the settlementPeriodFrom or
settlementPeriodTo parameters are provided, the corresponding from or to parameter instead filters on settlement
date, allowing for searching by a combination of time and/or settlement date & settlement period.
Note: When filtering via settlement date, from/to are treated as Dates only, with the time being ignored. For
example, 2022-06-01T00:00Z and 2022-06-01T11:11Z are both treated as the settlement date 2022-06-01.
            
All Dates and DateTimes should be expressed as defined within
<a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3339#section-5.6" target="_blank">RFC 3339</a>.
            
Some examples of date parameter combinations are shown below.
