Update/api_views: data endpoint

[gideonmaina]

Description

Update the /data endpoint by adding more filtering options and omitting unnecessary data

Type of change

• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

• Add filtering options by node uid, node owner, sensor type name choices and country name choices.

• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality not to work as expected)

  • Remove filtering by sensor id: this approach is cumbersome as it requires tracking sensors by their PKs. A node uid is sufficient for the user and further filtering can be done by sensor types inside the node.

• This change requires a documentation update

@thepsalmist This is what I meant about the sensor name instead of the id. We can keep the sensor id and add sensor_type name or update sensor value to the name instead of the id. Whichever is acceptable.

Makes sense @gideonmaina , I ad commented on issue #152 . I got it covered, including a number of optimizations from the serializers we inherited from feinstaub. Should have the PR up tomorrow

@thepsalmist I would like to first test out the casting for the PM value types

[gideonmaina]

@thepsalmist. I have made the final changes to this issue #152. Please continue with the review . Cc. @usmanbiu

@gideonmaina great job!!
I think we should add the approximations of latitude and longitude of the sensors

[gideonmaina]

@usmanbiu That information is useful for node details. For mobile sensors, that is part of the data already

@gideonmaina great job!!
