I need to design a time series metrics API. The API will be read only, needs to support some but not extensive query flexibility, and will be used with a relatively limited number of metrics.<p>Are there any existing APIs you like that I could use for inspiration?<p>Are there any you hate that you hope I avoid emulating?!
My first thought is that time series data sets vary drastically in scale.<p>For instance, there are two CPI numbers that come out once a month for about 80 years so far, or 1920 numbers total. That's "small data". Other systems collect that many numbers in a millisecond.<p>I like the time series handling capabilities in pandas myself.
