Filtering messages by post time

Hello,   How do I filter messages by post_time?     I can retrieve a set of messages from the speakers board:   http://community.demo.lithium.com/community/restapi/vc/boards/id/speakers/s...

This does not appear to be work.  I tried adding the date_start=2009-07-01&date_end=2009-07-08 to the URL using appropriate date values for the data but an empty result was returned.

 

From what I can learn, there does not appear to be a solution for filtering out by post_date using the REST API alone.

I can get a result using this call:

 

http://lithosphere.lithium.com/lithium/restapi/vc/metrics/name/userSearch_top_search_terms?date_start=2008-03-11&date_end=2009-06-12&restapi.format_detail=full_list_element&restapi.response_style=view&page=1&page_size=99

 

***EDIT***

 

I just noticed, that this call is predicated upon 'metrics' in the URL, so it will come up flat if you dont have access to metrics (but then again, using 'metrics' is just what I pulled out for this example).

 

Here is an example of a working date call with time:

 

# posts in last 24 hours in this category

 

http://hifi.stage.lithium.com/hifi/restapi/vc/categories/id/Products/metrics/name/posts?date_start=2008-03-11T00:00:00Z

 

(you'll have to tinker with this URL and plug in your own community, but it should work)
