Welcome to DataIO

DataIO is a web service that allows you to store data. It then allows you to query for the data in many different ways. This website also hopes to eventually be a tutorial for the different graphing libraries on the web.

How to create a new data set:

To create a new data set make a post request to /data/__create (or fill out the web form located here) with the following information (table_data is the only variable that is required):

• table_title: This represents the title of the chart.
• x_axis_title: This represents the title of the x axis.
• y_axis_title: This represents the title of the y axis.
• x_axis_units: This represents the units of the x axis.
• y_axis_units: This represents the units of the y axis.
• table_data: This represents the information in the table in csv format.

This post request will return back a unique id for your data. You can use this data to query for your data set.

To query for a data set

To query for a data set, you can make a get request to /data/{id} where {id} is the unique id associated with the dataset. You can also pass in the following parameters to the request:

• format: the format parameter can either be set to html, csv, json, flot, or gchart_line
• transpose: whether the data should be transposed or not. Should be set to either true or false.
• multplication_factor: the number that every number in your data set will be multiplied by. This value can be a floating point number.
• multplication_start_row: this integer value represents the first row that will be multiplied by the multiplication_factor argument. By default, this value is set to 1.
• base_row: (one needed when format is flot or gchart_line) this integer value represents the row of the table that contains the values that will be places on the x-axis of the chart. By default, this value is set to 0.
• base_column: (this is an optional parameter and only used when format is flot or gchart_line) this integer value represents the column of the table that contains the values that will be used in the legend of the chart.
• height: (this is an optional parameter and only used when format gchart_line) this integer value represents the height of the google chart that is returned.
• width: (this is an optional parameter and only used when format gchart_line) this integer value represents the width of the google chart that is returned.
