Syntax

asm/[format/][instrument[&instrument]*/[variable_pattern/]]date_time[..date_time]

• with supported format:

  • xml
  • json (default)
  • html
  • csv

• with instrument among valid ASM instruments or all

  • meteo
  • dimm
  • slodar
  • mass
  • historical_ambient
  • weather
  • lhatpro
  • ecmwf_era5_reanalysis
  • sparta_AtmPerfParams
  • sparta_IRLoopParams
  • sparta_IRPixelAvgFrame
  • sparta_PupLoopParams
  • sparta_Vibrations
  • sparta_VisLoopParams

  If no instrument is provided, all instruments will be used as argument.

  To get the list of available instruments, use the dedicated web service:

asm/instruments[/format]

• with variable_pattern to filter variables by name

  see the POSIX Shell language: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_13_01

  To get the list of all available variables, use the dedicated web service:

asm/variables[/format[/instrument[&instrument]*[/variable_pattern]]]

• and with date_time pattern: yyyy-mm-ddTHH:mm:ss

  If two date_times are provided separated with .., the service retrieves all stored ASM data during the given period
