Request¶
When entering a date in the query string of a request, several formats can be used.
- Absolute
To enter an absolute date, enter it using the format
YYYY-MM-DD- Relative
To enter a relative date, enter simply a number to specify a relative number of periods. Enter a negative number for periods back in time.
- Latest
If no date is passed in the query string, the most recent data point will be returned for point queries, and a start date of yesterday and an end date of today will be set for series queries.
Note
For calculations and data that has intra-day data available, querying with the Latest date type will return the most recent data point for the current day.
