date_start and date_end - How they work?

Hi,

I wonder how date_start and date_end exactly works.

 

If I set query like this:

restapi/vc/users/id/${id}/metrics/name/net_replies?date_start=2018-01-17&date_end=2018-01-17

It shows 0. But if I change query for this one:

restapi/vc/users/id/${id}/metrics/name/net_replies?date_start=2018-01-17&date_end=2018-01-18

I get proper number of replies for 17 January but will it count also replies for 18 January? 

 

Is there any documentation about that?

 

 

  • Hi omygoodness,

     

    Please refer to this documentation. The date format is 

    <yyyy>-<MM>-<dd>T<HH>:<mm>:<ss><ZZ>

    However, you do not require the full timestamp to be used in the API. Just the dates would suffice as below.

    date_start=2010-07-01&date_end=2010-07-08

    As far as the result is concerned, usually the fromDate is inclusive and the toDate is exclusive. I'm sure of this at least with Bulk data API. 

    Hope this helps!

     

    Thanks,
