I am new to web development and I have bit off more than I can chew.
So far, I successfully have created a website to query the latest data at cosm.com
Now I am trying to save the last 10 data points from the cosm.com feed to an array using the cosm javascript library. I can't get the right syntax and I can't find examples to guide me.
cosm.feed.history( 12068, duration:'30seconds', callback(data) );
console.log(data);

UPDATE 2013-4-14 After implementing @bjpirt's solution, I noticed I wasn't getting 'every' value returned inside the specified duration. Solved it by adding "interval:0" to the request.
cosm.datastream.history( cosmFeed1, cosmDataStream1, {duration:'60seconds', interval:0}, getHistory );
@lebreeze is correct with his advice. I got your JSFiddle working so that it is now fetching data from the Cosm API:
I had to make a few changes to get it working, any of which would have been causing you errors:
Also, that feed doesn't seem to have been updated recently.
Here's the updated code which seems to be working fine now:
//read only key
cosm.setKey("-Ux_JTwgP-8pje981acMa5811-mSAKxpR3VRUHRFQ3RBUT0g");
var cosmFeed = 120687;
var cosmDataStream = "sensor_reading";
$(document).ready( function() {
var success = function(data){
for(var datapoint in data.datapoints){
var dp = data.datapoints[datapoint];
$('#stuff').append('<li>Value: ' + dp.value + ' At: ' + dp.at + '</li>');
}
}
//Print out the last 10 readings or so
cosm.datastream.history( cosmFeed, cosmDataStream, {duration:'1day'}, success );
})
It's difficult to get just the last x datapoints (that's something we should change in the API I think) - what you'd normally do is ask for a specific time period.
Hope this helps.
