Example request:_

Passing no "wait" parameter - user then makes a "Check status" call to get the data:

http://<SERVER>/jsonapi/dataviewer.json?user=user&password=user&version=4&action=start&datefrom=2020-04-01&view=46136

Passing the "wait" parameter:

Note: No need to call "Check status"

http://<SERVER>/jsonapi/dataviewer.json?user=user&password=user&version=4&action=start&datefrom=2020-04-01&view=46136&wait=10
