perfSONAR Client API

perfSONAR includes APIs to retrieve perfSONAR data from the measurement archive (called esmond) and from the Lookup Service (called sLS).

Since all perfSONAR APIs are REST-based, standard tools like ‘curl’ can be used. We also have a some libraries and scripts that make data retrieval easy.
