We present a prototype service offering unified access to space physics data content. Our focus is the time series data cataloged by the now operational Virtual Observatories (VxOs) within NASA's heliosphysics community. While the VxOs largely focus on data discovery, our focus is uniform access to granule content for energetic particle, plasma, and magnetic field datasets. Given a dataset name and a time range, the service returns the requested subset of data content in a format that is identical for products of a particular measurement type, i.e., all energetic particle datasets will resemble each other in format, all plasma data will be identically formatted, etc. The prototype service offers key datasets from the Virtual Heliospheric Observatory (VHO), the Virtual Magnetospheric Observatory (VMO), and the the Virtual Space Physics Observatory (VSPO). We discuss the use as well as the design of the service, including its relationship to SPASE metadata. Also, visualization for the output of the service is presented using Autoplot (http://www.autoplot.org). We conclude with an outline describing how this prototype could be extended from its current capacity (dozens of datasets) to a much larger capacity of hundreds of datasets.
