The NNTSC collector allows clients to request data about measurement streams, including metadata and results. It includes historical data and allows subscribing to live data as it arrives. This could be used as an alternative to directly interfacing with InfluxDB, although Brendon has expressed that a long-term goal is to deprecate the API in favour of directly interfacing with InfluxDB.

The API is not well documented, and only appears to be implemented in one place - the following links might be useful.

• https://github.com/wanduow/libnntscclient
• https://github.com/wanduow/ampy/blob/develop/libampy/nntsc.py

The beginnings of a client implementation can be found on the nntsc-client branch.

This is unnecessary and won't be implemented. Closing issue and deleting branch.
