View source for DataZoa API Examples


The dataZoa API can be very handy for simple ''ad hoc'' tasks.  
<br><br>
===dataZoa API from a browser===
<div class="imgGlyph24 imgIdea" style="vertical-align: top; "></div>
<div class="Gdib" style="margin-left: 2.0em; ">You can use the API without programming, just using your everyday browser. For example, to get all of the series keys for a grouplist, enter:
<div>
 <nowiki>https://www.datazoa.com/api/apimain.asp?func=SeriesFromGL&glname=</nowiki><b>YourGroupName</b>&apikey=<b>YourAPIKey</b>
</div>
in your browser's address bar.  The results will require some reformatting, but it's fast and effective.
</div>

===dataZoa API from a command line===
<div class="imgGlyph24 imgIdea" style="vertical-align: top; "></div>
<div class="Gdib" style="margin-left: 2.0em; ">Perhaps even simpler, if you are comfortable with Windows commandline Powershell, you can you can just do this:
<div> 
 <nowiki>(curl "https://www.datazoa.com/api/apimain.asp?func=SeriesFromGL&glname=</nowiki><b>YourGroupName</b>&apikey=<b>YourAPIKey</b><nowiki> | ConvertFrom-Json).payload</nowiki>
</div>
</div>
