realtimegauges.txt - available from API?
I upload the realtimegauges.txt to my website every 5 seconds. I think it would be more efficient to call the API for the same data on demand, as the daily number of hits on my gauges page is far less than 17280 (number of uploads of realtimegauges.txt in 24 hours). I can easily proxy the call to realtimegauges.txt to the API. My question is - are the contents of realtimegauges.txt generated from an API call? If so, may I know the URI for the call, please?

Re: realtimegauges.txt - available from API?
I would have to boot up my laptop to check for certain, but I'm pretty sure there is no API call for the actual file contents as it's generated in the usual way by processing a template file. However, when used as part of the user interface the data is obtained via an API call, if you look at the JavaScript file you should be able to see it. That might be a way to do what you want.

Very true - I should've thought of that myself, and saved asking the question. Thank you for the swift reply.steve wrote:when used as part of the user interface the data is obtained via an API call, if you look at the JavaScript file you should be able to see it
