Howdy,
Is there a why to directly download observation data (without going threw the web interface)?
TIA,
David
You can make a request using a web browser or a custom script.
Check the specifications for the VSX HTTP GET API:

For example, getting the observations for star "STAR", between dates "DATE1" and "DATE2", you do:
https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=api.delim&ident="STAR"&fromjd=DATE1&tojd=DATE2&delimiter=,
delimiter is a character you use to separate fields and can be changed.
Good luck!
Thanks for your comment
What do I change the " &delimiter=" for tab separated file?
