+This API is really easy to use, and returns a 3 day window for C, M and X Class as well as 10mev and 100mev proton readings. The data is returned from the API and dumped into an Array() so you can easily change the output.
+In its default config (above) it returns HTML, but can easily be changed to return the $sr array by removing the $html... lines and changing the return $html; to be return $sr;
