REST API - Stats endpoint: return further data

Hi,

For most store owners, the earnings figure which matters is the one excluding taxes (netto). Earnings provided by the stats API are including taxes only. We do not have any way to access the figures excluding taxes.

Adding a parameter would be a possibility but I think that simply providing both figures including and excluding taxes in the JSON would be better (more manageable on the API client side).

Generally speaking, I think that providing more data in a single API call would be much more useful:

if you look at the dashboard for the iOS application, you require 4 API calls. This is very inefficient on mobile.

If we could have in a single call:

global earnings stats (today, month, last month, all time)
global sales stats (today, month, last month, all time)
optionally stats for a date range

That would reduce our client side work to a single API call

Result could look like:

{
    "today": {  
        "earnings": 3.2,
        "earnings_netto": 2.4,
        "sales": 1
    },
    "current_month": {  
        "earnings": 68,
        "earnings_netto": 63,
        "sales": 1
    },
    "last_month": {  
        "earnings": 57.32,
        "earnings_netto": 55.12,
        "sales": 136
    },
    "totals": {

        "sales": 2465
    },
    "range": {
        "20130201": {  
            "earnings": 0,
            "earnings_netto": 0,
            "sales": 0
        },
        "20130202": {  
            "earnings": 300.34,
            "earnings_netto": 289.89,
            "sales": 12
        },
        "20130203": {  
            "earnings": 0,
            "earnings_netto": 0,
            "sales": 0
        },
        "20130204": {  
            "earnings": 0,
            "earnings_netto": 0,
            "sales": 0
        }
    },
