API responses return JSON. Excepting /milestones they return the following structure:

            [
                {
                    "d": date in MySQL format,
                    "v": value of the indicator for this date.
                }
            ]

That is an array of objects with two parameters d that holds the date in MySQL format (YYYY-MM-DD) and v that holds the value. Ex:

[{"d":"2003-01-02","v":10501},{"d":"2003-01-03","v":10505},{"d":"2003-01-06","v":10564},{"d":"2003-01-07","v":10605},{"d":"2003-01-08","v":10652},{"d":"2003-01-09","v":10663},{"d":"2003-01-10","v":10645},{"d":"2003-01-13","v":10664},{"d":"2003-01-14","v":10693} .... ]
