Telemetry Command Line Access

Here's how you do it from the command line.

curl "http://telemetry.lbto.org/services/samples?source=/daq/thermal+computer&from=4809523691&format=text/csv"

This will retrieve all of the telescope temperature samples recorded after 4809523691 MJD-TAI(s). The quotes are required to let sh know that & is part of the command instead of a command separator. Furthermore, in a URL spaces are not allowed. They must be replaced with a +.

The URL acts like a function call with the function name being http://telemetry.lbto.org/services/samples and the function arguments being source=/daq/thermal+computer, from=4809523691 and format=text/csv. The function arguments are not positional, they are passed by name, so the source parameter is set to /daq/thermal+computer, the from parameter to 4809523691, and the format to text/csv.

Here is the full help.
