Data Access API #195

Closed ranganathanm closed 9 years ago

ranganathanm commented 9 years ago

We now have a download data button that tar/gzips all the data, system, location messages in a date range into a zip file and sends a pointer to a user.

I have added two more such data access API - one which sends an array of power values from a given start time within a time window and another that does the same thing but with symbolic dates. This was done in order to support offline analysis as requested by Tim. I have also added an API that fetches just the occupancy values (# of occupied channels) as an array.

So I have two changes I want to discuss:

  1. Remove the Download Data Button ( seems redundant and there's a problem with verifying email addresses when there is no login -- The Zip file will still be downloadable via the web API but not through the GUI).

If this is not acceptable, then remove at least the email field when there is no login so as to prevent possible spam attacks.

  1. Add additional GUI selections to download just the power values and occupancies within a range. Again this could be accessible via the GUI or we just publish an API to do this.

Thanks for participating.

I am fine with removing the Download Data Button. Data access API works. I suggest adding the GUI to download power values and occupancies.
