====Resolution/Samples====

The **objects/history** endpoint supports the non-standard **resolution** and **samples** parameters in [[i3x:Welcome|i3X]].

This influences the resolution of returned data.

//resolution// is the time between samples, measured in seconds. //samples// indicates the approximate number of samples required. Please only specify //one// of these values in your query. If both are given, preference is given to **samples**.

These are mainly used when requesting large periods of time on objects with high resolution values.

This is combined with the [[method|method]] option to control the data that is returned to you.

By default, the query will return 2000 samples. This default behaviour can be changed in [[i3X Settings|i3X settings]].

Note that queries using these parameters [[history_behaviour|may return a different number of results]] than expected.
