Hello Atlas, I would like to request an additional API call which just returns the latest results for a specific measurement. For use cases I would point you to the "RIPE Atlas - Map Visualisations²[1]. I have also seen places in the dnsmon beta where you only show the latest results. this would also be very useful for trouble shooting, if I see an issue its inconvenient to download xMB of json data just to see the whats going on now. An additional feature would be to ask for a result for X seconds in the past, the call would return a result closest to that time. This is for investigating historic events, if I have an issue that lasts one hour I would normally only need one result to perform the initial investigation. This would also be useful to have a history/timeline function to the maps[1]. The following code at the end of this mail does something similar to what I would like using the current API. By setting GO_BACK_IN_TIME=0 you should get the most recent measurement. However this is not perfect, depending on what value one sets the INTERVAL do you may get multiple results or now may get none and as far as I can tell this dose not relate to the measurement Interval. The other issue with queuing the results like this is that you get a lot of superfluous data. I.e. For the dns measurement in the script below you get result[answers][RDATA] and result-rdata which both seem to have the same data. Furthermore when in a script im not to interested in the probe and measurement details. If I am, I will request that information from the appropriate probe or measurement api call. For the DNS measurement a structure like the following would suite my needs { probe_id: { abuf: str, timestamp: int, result: { additional: str, question: str, authority: str, opcode: str, answer: str, flags: str, rcode: str, id: int }, response_time: float } } Thanks John #/bin/sh GO_BACK_IN_TIME=86400 INTERVAL=240 NOW=$(date +%s) MSG_ID=1423370 URL="https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/measurement/${MSG_ID}/result/?stop=$((NO W - GO_BACK_IN_TIME))&start=$((NOW - GO_BACK_IN_TIME - FREQUENCY))&format=json" echo ${URL} wget -q "${URL}" -O - [1]https://atlas.ripe.net/results/maps/
