Get Data by Specific Period and Number [TR7A, TR-7wb/nw/wf, TR4A, TR32B]

Overview

This can be used to get the current readings graph data from compatible devices that are being managed with T&D WebStorage Service.
By specifying the number of data readings or the time period it is possible to get only the specific data that you request.

Request

URI

https://api.webstorage-service.com/v1/devices/data

Access Restrictions

Read-Only ID is also possible

Compatible Models for this API

TR7A, TR-7wb/nw/wf series, TR4A series, TR32B

Rate Limit

20 requests per allotted 1-minute span, or 160,000 readings per 60 minutes per device

This interval for this API has been designed to be relatively long so as to allow for retrieval of data on a set regular interval. Since the number of retrieved data readings is large and the load is intense, an upper limit for the number of data readings per device has been included.
This will help alleviate duplicate data acquisition for the same device. Further, to reduce short-term load the maximum number of accesses has been limited. Please be aware of this before using.

If you wish to get the latest current readings at a shorter interval, use the following API.

(*1) About Settings for unixtime-from / unixtime-to / number
・Even if the set number is larger than 65,535, it will be limited to 65,535.
・“unixtime-from/unixtime-to” is designed with an AND condition included whereby the number of readings can be specified. If specified, then that number of data readings will be retrieved in sequence from the data at the latest time specified.
・If no specifications are made for unixtime-from, unixtime-to or number then the most recent 16,000 reading will be retrieved.
・If the number of data readings in the period specified by “unixtime-from” and “unixtime-to” is more than that specified by “number”, then not all data in the time period will be retrieved, but only the the number of data readings specified by “number” will be retrieved with the most recent data first.
(EX: If in the period specified by “unixtime-from” and ”unixtime-to” there are 20,000 data readings, but 16,000 readings was specified by “number”, then only the most recent 16,000 readings from the time specified in “unixtime-to” as a starting point. The oldest 4,000 readings will not be retrieved. )
・If the number of data readings in the period specified by “unixtime-from” and “unixtime-to” is less than that specified by “number”, then all of the data in the specified time period (from “unixtime-from” to “unixtime-to”) will be retrieved.
(EX: If in the period specified by “unixtime-from” and ”unixtime-to” there are 10,000 data readings, but 16,000 readings was specified by “number”, then all 10,000 readings included in the specified period will be retrieved. )
(*2) Set type=csv or type=csv2 to get the response in the same format as the Response Example (CSV format). Note that "type=csv" will be deprecated on Nov. 1, 2024.

Response Parameter (JSON format)

In the following, when an item name includes a period (.) as in “channel.name”, this indicates that the elements of the array are included in the item, in this case “channel”.

Item Name Format Details
serial string Serial Number of Selected Device
model string Model Name of Selected Device
time_diff string(*1) Device Time Difference Info [in units of minutes] shown here. If it is a Remote Unit, then the time difference info will be that set in Base Unit to which it is registered.
std_bias string(*1) Device Time Difference from Standard [in units of minutes] shown here. If it is a Remote Unit, then the time difference from standard info will be that set in Base Unit to which it is registered.
dst_bias string(*1) Device Time Difference during Daylight Savings Time [in units of minutes] shown here. If it is a Remote Unit, then the time difference during daylight savings time info will be that set in Base Unit to which it is registered.
name string Device Name of Selected Device
channel Array Measurement Channel Info shown here. If the device selected does not include sufficient data, it may result in an empty array.
  channel.name string Channel Name
  channel.num string(*1) Channel Number (0-)
  channel.unit string Unit of Measurement for Channel(*2)
data Array If the number of data readings is "0”, then the array is blank.
  data.unixtime string(*1) unixtime of graph data
  data.data-id string(*1) data-id(*3) of graph data
  data.ch1 string(*1)(*4) The value for ch1 for the above unixtime.
  data.ch2 string(*1)(*4) The value for ch2 for the above unixtime. This will not exist, if the device has no ch2 measurement.

(*1) The value is a number, but the type is character-based.
(*2) When Celsius or Fahrenheit is specified in "temperature-unit" in Request Parameter, the specified unit will be used instead of the unit set in the device.
(*3) The data-id will increment from 0 to 65535 and then return to 0. The continuity of data can be confirmed by looking at the continuity of this value and unixtime. If there is a period during which current readings data could not be received, the data-id for that period may be missing. However, note that monitoring data for TR41/TR42/TR45 is always "data-id": 0.
(*4) If the measured value is obtained, a numeric value of character type is returned, but if an error occurs, an error value starting with E is returned.
