Headers

The "X-Auth-Token" and "Content-Type" headers are required in your request:

Header	Value	Required?	Description
`X-Auth-Token`	Token	Yes	Account authentication token.
`Content-Type`	`application/json`	Yes	The request body data type.

Body

An object containing the following key parameters:

Parameter	Type	Required?	Description
variables	String Array	Yes	An array of variable IDs
columns	String Array	Yes	Information columns to retrieve from each variable. See the note below for a detailed explanation.
join_dataframes	Boolean	No	`true`: returns an array. Each element is an array containing the values for the period. `false`: [Default] returns an array where each element is a separate time series per variable.
start	Number	No	Initial timestamp in POSIX milliseconds format (inclusive).
end	Number	No	Final timestamp in POSIX milliseconds format (inclusive).
limit	Number	No	Limits the number of returned values.
tz	string	No	The time zone in which the timestamps provided in the request are interpreted.

📘
Columns parameter
Options are:

value.value

variable.id

variable.label

value.context

variable.name

variable.properties.color

device.name

device.label

timestamp

📘
Optional parameters

If neither start nor end is included, the request uses the last 100 values of each variable.

If only start is sent, the request includes values from that timestamp up until the last value in the time series, even if it is in the future.

If only end is sent, the request includes values from the beginning of data reception up until that timestamp.

If the precision key is not defined, decimal numbers are displayed according to the calculation.

Query Parameters

You can add optional parameters to the URL of your request:

Parameter	Type	Description
token	String	The token to authenticate the request. Although sending it as a query parameter is supported, we strongly recommend using the `X-Auth-Token` header.
