Downloading data for genus 2 curves

[Rob Evans]

Hi,

I'm doing some computations with genus 2 curves /Q and I wondered if it was possible to download the Real Period data for, say, the first 1000 curves listed on LMFDB?

Many thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob,

You can do this using the API, e.g. the page

   https://www.lmfdb.org/api/g2c_curves/?_count=100&_offset=0

Shows data for the first 100 curves (including the regulator), and by changing the offset (or clicking next), you can get the next 100, etc... (we limit downloads to 100 records at a time).  Note that you can also choose the format (HTML, YAML, or JSON).
