====Method====

The **objects/history** endpoint supports the non-standard **method** parameter in [[i3x:Welcome|i3X]].

This is combined with the [[resolution_samples|resolution / samples]] parameter to control the information returned when asking for history.

The choice for //method// are...

**raw** - Results are returned at their native resolution. WARNING: in some data sources, resolution can be in excess of 20-samples-per-second.

**interp** (the default) - Results are broken into small time windows, and the average is returned in each window. This is extremely useful for charts or calculations, but may miss extremely fine details.

**min** - Shows the minimum value for each time-window. Useful for picking up any very small outages or issues.

**max** - Shows the maximum value for each time-window. Useful for picking up surges or other extremely brief issues.

The default mode can be changed in [[i3X Settings|i3X settings]].
