Hi,
Due to the fact that in the free version of ThingSpeak there is a limitation on the frequency of records, I am trying to develop a method to synchronise several separate modules transmitting to the same channel.
I don't want to get into NTP for now, as I'm a strong beginner.
I have come up with an idea, but in order to do so, I need a feedback from the server about the time elapsed since the last write in seconds.
Is there any way to extract this from the server?
I know it is possible to download the data into .json or .xml, but how do I further extract what I need from this? As long as I can find the data there at all.
Greetings

Hello again and apologies
.
I've already found it after I let the post go, but maybe it will be useful to someone else:

An additional question arises here, however, because I keep getting a "-1" return, i.e. no access.
Does this method only work on public channels?
