Description
Hello there.
I deployed speedtest-tracker on Docker yesterday using PostgreSQL. It works great, and the charts in its own web UI function as intended.
However, I like using Grafana to keep track of my metrics all in one place. I used the "Infinity" Grafana plugin to query the API and format the JSON data into graphs and tables on a dashboard. This worked great, until I realized that the latest speedtest was not showing in the Grafana dashboard.
After querying the API with Postman, it appears that the speedtest is not in the JSON response which would explain why the Grafana dashboard wasn't displaying it.
After "poking" a bit at the response I found out that it uses pagination (yes, I hadn't read the docs very carefully lol). However, for stuff like Grafana dashboards, this significantly complicates fetching the data.
Perhaps, the results API endpoint could accept from and to parameters, in order to only return what the app wants, which, if it is not a lot of data, would not require pagination. For simplicity, the parameters could just be UNIX timestamps rather than strings which may need decoding.
Thanks in advance for considering this feature request.
