Provides all measurements from the last 5 minutes for all publicly accessible sensors filtered by a query.
Supported queries are:
city={city}: Separated list of cities i.enairobi,lagos-
country={country name}: Separated list of countries i.e.KE, TZ, NG, ZA, ... type={sensor type}: Separated list of sensor types, i.eSDS011,DHT22
Provides all measurements for all publicly accessible sensors stored in our database.
