Instead of using the API to loop through and fetch many series for a given app (like mapping), use embeds (tables, latest values)

You can create a table specifically for your app which contains all the data needed and then fetch just it.

Some Advantges:
  • You can structure the row (series) labels to be easily identifiable (knockouts become available)
  • Fetch data for multiple series with a single fetch
  • Embeds are server cached for speed which is tripped only when underling data actually changes
  • Use glname to access multiple datasets via a single table and multiple group lists
  • Use latest values to get current value, prior values and/or (%) changes
Remember:
  • Requires string (or jQuery) parsing of embed html (some classes to assist)
  • Limit of 50 points of historical data per series for tables.
