Solved: API Interface to Emoncms v5

Submitted by engeeaitch on Sun, 21/04/2013 - 16:22

Hi, I have just upgraded to V5 of emoncms, and have a problem with the API interface.

With V4, I was making a call using http://localhost/emoncms/feed/get.json?id=1 This was returning the temperature and the timestamp in a json formatted string.

Am I right in thinking that I now need to make two calls - one for the temperature, and one for the timestamp of the form http://localhost/emoncms/feed/get.json?id=1&field="value" and http://localhost/emoncms/feed/get.json?id=1&field="time" ?

Making two calls instead of one will slow my program down. Is there any way I can get both values back with one call?

Hi - I'm struggling with this one - it looks like the API has changed significantly between V4 and V5. Can anyone help with my request please?

OK - so my take on this is that it is not possible with the code as it stands.

However, I have modified the file feed_controller.php to include the following line immediately after line 45:

if ($route->action == "fullvalue") $result = $feed->get(get('id'));

This extends the API so that I can now make a call that looks like this:

This returns all of the values, including the time, and works for me.
