REST API Export Problem

Hi Julia,

I have the answer to the problem. After looking closely at your url, I noticed that the punctuation characters were escaped with a backslash:

…/export\?email\=ecn@systemsofmerritt.com\&start\=-1012000\&end\=0

The url below is what was giving us trouble:

…/export?email=ecn@systemsofmerritt.com&start=-1012000&end=0

I’m not sure why it even recognized the email, but it only does if it is the first thing after the “?”. I’m also not sure why I was having trouble with the Electric Imp http.post() request, but it seems to be working now. Perhaps I was feeding it a positive 360000 instead of a negative 360000.

Turns out the Postman app must take care of the special characters for us, so it isn’t a problem. (Thanks for recommending Postman! I think it will come in handy for lots of things.)

I really appreciate your help and patience!

-Frank
