Failure responses (HTTP status code 500)

  • InvalidFilterID: the value of the filter parameter was invalid.
  • InvalidViewID: the value of the view parameter was invalid.

Download data

GET /dlx/download/download

Parameters

  • source (default log): source of the data (can be log for recorded data or current for live data).
  • inputType (default packets): type of data to read from the source (can be packets for VBus v1 packets).
  • outputType (default text-tab-crlf): output file format of the download. Can be:
    • text-tab-crlf: Tab separated text file with CR+LF line endings (Windows).
    • text-tab-lf: Tab separated text file with LF line endings (Linux / OSX).
    • text-csv-crlf: Semicolon separated text file with CR+LF line endings (Windows).
    • text-csv-lf: Semicolon separated text file with LF line endings (Linux / OSX).
    • json: JSON encoded text file.
    • vbus: Binary file conforming to VBus Recording File Format.
  • sieveInterval (optional): allows filtering the data to be downloaded by specifying an interval in seconds that should be kept between two data records. For example: the DL2 could be configured to store data every 10 seconds, but you can download a file only containing hourly records by specifying 3600 here.
  • ttl (optional): time-to-live in seconds. Records that have not been refreshed in this time are no longer included in the output.
  • startDate (optional): start date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
  • endDate (optional): end date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
  • dataLanguage (optional): language code (ISO 639-1) to use for the text conversion.
  • filter (optional): the ID of the filter to apply on the data.
