Time Period - Only two of three of these need to be used in a string. First & Last, First & Count, or Last & Count. Last & Count will return results the easiest.

• first (STRING) - Defines the start of the time period. If January 1 2012 to February 21, 2012 was the specification required, start with specifying the the first time point with first=2011-01-01. Alternatively, say the specification was between yesterday and today.
• Example(s): first=2011-01-01 first=1323466328 or first=yesterday
• last (STRING) - Defines the end of a time period. To continue the example above, if the date range specified is January 1, 2012 to February 21, 2011, specify last=2011-02-21. Alternatively say the time period you always wanted to measure was today. One could specify last=today, and then use count to specify 14, 30, up to 1000 days back relative to the time range enabled for the account on the API.
• Example: last=2012-02-21 or last=1318195928 OR last=yesterday OR last=today
• count (STRING) - Count is used as a period proxy to specified time periods. The standard time period is a day, so using count, you would specify the last 30, 60, 90, 100, to 1000 days by specifying last=today & count=30 (or another period length).
• Example: count=1 OR 10 OR 100 OR 1000 to specify the time period backward or forward

Request - Option Parameters

• period (STRING) - Integer of the number of seconds that a period constitutes if "count" is specified rather than a start/end date.
  • Default setting: period=86400 (24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds) or one Day
  • Day: Count=30 (30 days)
  • Example: &first=yesterday&count=30 - Specifies chart or histogram to return 30 days (periods) of data with reference to default period setting
  • Hour: Specify period=3600 (60 minutes x 60 seconds) & Count=24 (hours)
  • Example date setting: &first=1323468000&count=24&period=3600 - Returns 1 day of data by hour
• limit (STRING)- Limit search results to the specified number. Limit=20 will only return 20 data points and can be used in histograms or charts.
• number (STRING) - Specifies number of items in non-histogram queries. If the parameter &number=10, the query will only return 10 data points.
• reverse (STRING) - When set to reverse=true, this will reverse the order of the histograms, charts.
