Hi @ggp,
there is no public API to access Timelion's computation results, but you can try to inspect the requests the browser makes to the endpoint at `/api/timelion/run` when you're viewing timelion sheets in Kibana. You should be able to execute equivalent requests from other scripts or applications if you preserve the `kbn-version` header.
**Please keep in mind that this is not a documented API which can change without notice in any update.**
