rawdata service

Description

Gets raw data from an instrument from a date, to a date, or between two given dates.

If no time is specified, the last hour of data will be returned for getByStation, or the data will be from the beginning of time to the present, subject to (default or otherwise) row and size limits (for getByDevice and getByLocation).

If time is specified, the data is limited to 100,000 rows.

Method	Description	Example
rawdata service#getByDevice	Retrieve raw data available for a given device within a time range	method=getByDevice
rawdata service#getByLocation	Retrieve raw data for the specified location and date range. This method is replacing getByStation.	method=getByLocation
Deprecated Methods
r awdata service#getByStation	Retrieve raw data available at given station. This method is still available but is deprecated* as of October 1, 2017 and has been replaced by the getByLocation method.*	method=getByStation

getByStation

Retrieve raw data available at given station. Data can be most recent from instruments, or data that's been archived in a raw data file.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Example
Required
token	string	user token	token=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
station	string	station code (corresponds with a search tree node, the one used in Data Search page)	station=IONA
deviceCategory	string	used to select which category of instruments at the station to use. Corresponds with the name column in the device category table	deviceCategory=AISRECEIVER
Optional
dateFrom	string	ISO8601 (extended) Date for the start time of the data. If not given, defaults to one hour before current time, so that last hour of data is returned (if there is data in the last hour), up to rowLimit number of rows.	dateFrom=2012-01-02T00:12:42.000Z
dateTo	string	ISO8601 (extended) Date for end time of data. Defaults to the current time if not provided. If no dateFrom is given and a dateTo is given, a date range error will be returned. The max amount of data returned will be rowLimit.	dateTo=2012-01-02T00:13:42.000Z
rowLimit	integer	The maximum number of data to return, within the constraints of the service. Note this will limit the data starting at the start time and ending at the row limit, not necessarily at the end time. default row limit: 100000 Treat negative or 0 rowLimit as max rowLimit. Treat rowLimit > maxRowLimit as max row limit.	rowLimit=10
skipErrors	Boolean	On rare occasions, badly formatted data without a leading time stamp can be encountered. In these cases the rawdata service will return an error (see below). This option provides a way to skip these instances and return the data. skipErrors=true will return all correctly formatted raw data with timestamps skipErrors=false (default) will return error message when there are some badly formatted raw data within requested time range Example of error message in the return: { "errors": [ { "errorCode": 143, "errorMessage": "Badly formatted raw data could not be returned. Recommend use 'skipErrors=true' option to skip errors and return remaining data. Alternatively, use archivefile service to download raw data." } ] }	skipErrors=true

outputFormat	String	There are two values: Array (default or if missing) (case insensitive) Data will be output as three arrays for a given device: a lineTypes array, a readings array, and a times array. Object (case insensitive) Data will be output as a list of objects for a given device. Inside each data object, there are lineType, rawData, and sampleTime lists.	outputFormat=array outputFormat=object
getLatest	Boolean	Specifies whether or not the latest raw data readings should be returned first. This is false by default. When set to true, readings are returned and pagination is done from latest to earliest.	getLatest=true

Accepted DateTime formats: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z' (ISO 8601 Extended) yyyy-MM-dd (ISO 8601 Extended) PnYnMnDTnHnMnS (ISO 8601 Duration) If not specified, the default value is the end of time. DateTime is represented in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). ISO 8601 Extended format without a time will be assumed to mean midnight (T00:00:000.000Z). Queries with both dateFrom and dateTo in the ISO 8601 Duration format will not be accepted.	dateTo=2016-08-01T00:00:00.000Z dateTo=2016-08-01 dateTo=PT12H30M Next 12 hours and 30 minutes, relative to the dateFrom.
rowLimit	Integer	The limit on the number of raw data readings to return. If not specified the row limit is 100,000.	rowLimit=300
sizeLimit	Integer	The limit on the size of raw data readings to return specified in MB. If not specified the size limit is 250 MB.	sizeLimit=20
outputFormat	String	Array (default or if missing) (case insensitive) data will be output as three arrays for a given device. Array of lineTypes, array of readings, array of times Object (case insensitive) data will be output as a list of objects for a given device. Inside each data object, there are lineType, rawData, and sampleTime. Can be used if the user wants data object to have the same output format of getByStation method.	outputFormat= array outputFormat = object
getLatest	Boolean	Specifies whether or not the latest raw data readings should be returned first. This is false by default. When set to true, readings are returned and pagination is done from latest to earliest.	getLatest=true
skipErrors	Boolean	On rare occasions, badly formatted data without a leading time stamp can be encountered. In these cases the rawdata service will return an error (see below). This option provides a way to skip these instances and return the data. skipErrors=true will return all correctly formatted raw data with timestamps skipErrors=false (default) will return error message when there are some badly formatted raw data within requested time range Example of error message in the return: { "errors": [ { "errorCode": 143, "errorMessage": "Badly formatted raw data could not be returned. Recommend use 'skipErrors=true' option to skip errors and return remaining data. Alternatively, use archivefile service to download raw data." } ] }	skipErrors=true
