TIA, David dhdeangelis Affiliation American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) Sun, 02/23/2020 - 08:01 Use the VSX HTTP GET API You can make a request using a web browser or a custom script. Check the specifications for the VSX HTTP GET API: https://www.aavso.org/comment/27176#comment-27176 For example, getting the observations for star "STAR", between dates "DATE1" and "DATE2", you do: https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=api.delim&ident="STAR"&fromjd=DATE1&tojd=DATE2&delimiter=, delimiter is a character you use to separate fields and can be changed.
