Extracting historical data [API]

Votes:

0

Currently, I was able to extract the current value by doing something like: https://website/api/getsensordetails.json?id=2143&username=something&passhash=something

Though this will only show it's last value. Is there any way to get the daily values, like for the previous month, or week?

PRTG API's Historic Data function is your friend in this case :)

Thanks Stephan, found this a few minutes ago. Is there an option to get the historic data like (7days ago or 1 month ago) instead of putting in start and end date?

Instead of the start and end date, you could use: 

Get-SensorHistory -EndDate (Get-Date).AddDays(-31)

...to get the last month :)

Thanks for the reply Stephan. How should that go in an API call like this?

/api/historicdata.json?id=objectid&avg=0&sdate=2018-01-20-00-00-00&edate=2018-01-21-00-00-00&usecaption=1

That would be the following: 

$start = [datetime]::ParseExact("2018-01-20-00-00-00", "yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss", $null)
$end   = [datetime]::ParseExact("2018-01-21-00-00-00", "yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss", $null)  

Get-SensorHistory -StartDate $start -EndDate $end

That kind of date calculation isn't easy with PowerShell. Check out the following to obtain the corresponding datetime objects for previous weekdays.
