Yeah, it's kind of verbose right now :p We'll get around to it when we make sure the forecast is the best it can be.

EDIT: But XML payloads are actually a really useful idea, it's going ASAP to the Trello board. :p

hah. well hopefully you support http gzip compression. :)

but in all seriousness, why the timestamp at all? your examples are all spaced at 3600ms. asking for it implies certain behavior. can you handle heterogeneous interval data? missing data?

Remnants of working with energy consumption and smart meter data - our examples are still a bit focused on that. On the other hand, the current version is able to handle distinct/heterogeneous intervals, although it clearly does not perform as well. We try (maybe too) hard to mangle the incoming data into something as _standard_ as possible for our models, and sometimes those transforms are not kind to sparse data.
