I want to extract the netflow data, specifically the top lists, in an xml file.
Currently I use this link but that doesn't get me the right data:
https://***.**.**.***/api/table.xml?content=values&output=xml&columns=datetime,value_,coverage&count=100&start=1&id=3764&username=******&passhash=******
Simply adding "&tab=6" doesn't seem to work (I get the data from the default tab)

Dear Bernard,
you can retrieve data from Toplists via the PRTG API with URLs such as the following:
http://*.*.*.*/api/table.xml?content=topdata&columns=position%2Cvalue_%2Cobjid%2Cbaselink&sortby=-value_2V&subid=2&topnumber=2&id=2002
However, you will have to know the ID of the Toplist as well as the topnumber (this is the identification of the individual Toplist you want to query). You can look up both in the web interface where the Toplists are displayed.
While the "ID" remains the same for the same Toplist, the "topnumber" is increased with every Toplist that is created (in default configuration, every 15 minutes).

I have a followup question.
In the XML file all of the value's have 2 names, raw value and value. I'd like to attach names to the value's so that I can use it for a script, is this possible?
