(Add graph data)
There are two methods of calling the Cumulus MX local API (note the web tag names are case sensitive just like normal):
 
== General API - HTTP GET ==
This provides a quick and simple method of getting data, you just provide the web tag names in the GET URL and MX returns a simple JSON string with the tag-name:tag-value pairs.
The tags are always returned with the default format. You can specify a special parameter "rc" (which must be the first URL parameter) to apply the usual remove commas format to all the tags.
 
 
== General API - HTTP POST ==
 
== HTTP POST ==
The POST method allows you to put whatever text you like in the request body - and include any web tags plus formatting you wish. The string returned will be exactly the same text with the tags substituted with data.
So you could send a simple comma separated list, or some JSON text, or XML, whatever.
"OutsideTemp":15.7,
"FeelsLikeYest":18.4
}
 
 
== Predetermined Data ==
=== Graph Data ===
Cumulus MX will return graph data on request, it is formatted as JSON
 
The general format of the request is as follows...
<pre>http://localhost:8998:/api/graphdata/xxxxx</pre>
Where xxxx is the specific request as below:
==== tempdata.json ====
Returns inside temp, dew point, apparent temp, feels like, wind chill, heat index, outdoor temp as a JSON object, each value is an array of timestamp (JavaScript number) and value pairs...
{
"intemp": [[timestamp1,value1],[timestamp2,value2]...],
"dew": [[timestamp1,value1],[timestamp2,value2]...],
"apptemp": [[timestamp1,value1],[timestamp2,value2]...],
"feelslike": [[timestamp1,value1],[timestamp2,value2]...],
"wchill": [[timestamp1,value1],[timestamp2,value2]...],
"heatindex": [[timestamp1,value1],[timestamp2,value2]...],
"temp": [[timestamp1,value1],[timestamp2,value2]...]
}
==== winddata.json ====
Same as temp data...
{
"wgust": [[,],[,]...],
"wspeed": [[,],[,]...]
}
==== raindata.json ====
Same as temp...
{
"rfall": [[,],[,]...],
"rrate": [[,],[,]...]
}

==== dailytemp.json ====
{
"mintemp": [[,],[,]...],

"avgtemp": [[,],[,]...]
}
==== units.json or graphconfig.json ====
Returns the units of measurement used for the graph values above.
{
"temp": {"units": "C|F", "decimals": 0|1|2},
"wind": {"units": "windunit", "decimals": N},
"rain": {"units": "rainunit", "decimals": N},
"press": {"units": "pressunit", "decimals": N},
