    Dhiraj, I'm going to try replicating this, if that is how the call is working it sounds like a bug.

Hi Dhiraj, I want to make sure I understand your case; are you making this query during the time period between the start and end dates, i.e. in your example you would make that query some time during 2013-06-29? And are you referring to users who log in after the end of the time period, or after you make the query?

hi Jake,
I am making the call after the time period only.
i.e. after the date_end parameter.
but if the user logins "after the end of time period" then the user is excluded from the response even if he was logged in within that time period.

example:
if user-A logins on date 2013-06-29 and again if he logins on 2013-06-30.
Then if I make a call to retrieve users visited on date 2013-06-29, then User-A should be there, right?
but if I make a call using following API then I don't get User-A in the response.
This is because User-A logins on 2013-06-30.
