Is there an easy way to retrieve the very first entry in a channel feed?

I would want to use it together with the last entry to calculate the current operational lifetime of my device (defined simply as the time span between these two entries).

Hi,

Yes there is an undocumented feature that allows this, in the format /channels/CHANNEL_ID/feeds/entry/ENTRY_ID .

For example this is the first entry in Channel 9: http://api.thingspeak.com/channels/9/feeds/entry/1 , and this is the 99th entry: http://api.thingspeak.com/channels/9/feeds/entry/99 .

Is there a way to return a range of entries?

Hi,

There is no way to return a range of entries based on entry IDs. The closest you can get is to get entries between start and end dates.
