Allow single channel data to be collected from /api/historicdata.json endpoint
If a sensor has multiple channels it is very desirable to be able to collect the data for a single channel fron this endpoint.
For example:
http://xyz-prt/api/historicdata.json?id=123&channelid=19&avg=0&sdate=2026-02-01-00-00-00&edate=2026-02-10-02-59-59
Currently only a single channel is returned and there doesn't seem to be any control over which channel that is.

Hi there,
Thank you again for submitting your idea to Paessler. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
After careful consideration by our team, we've decided to decline this idea at this time. Reason:
- API v2 already has more flexibility to define specific channels when returning the precalculated data sets (e.g. live, 2 days, 30 days...)
- API v2 will support the same flexibility once granular historic data retrieval is supported
- We will not invest in change the functionality of API v2 which is referenced here.
While this particular idea won't be moving forward, please don't be discouraged! Your input is incredibly valuable, and we encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts and ideas with us.
Thanks for your understanding and for helping us shape the future of Paessler.
Best regards,
The Paessler Product Team
