login to cps energy then go to this next url ---> https://secure.cpsenergy.com/mma/widgetDashBoard.jsp ---> ENERGY USE ( click it) ---> open developer tools, click the network section then click the circle with the slash thru it. its next to the red circle on the top left side

then change the year view to day view. look for a request with 'reads?' ignore 'hourly?' 

right click it and copy it as a curl request.

within the url is the start date and end date, change them to whatever the billing period is on your cps bill
