Date Filtering on GET

Buzz supports filtering of GET requests using date ranges and special date syntax.

  • Dates are in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
  • Dates are both read and written in the account-level timezone set in Buzz
  • GET filtering may include just the date or the date and time. When just the date is provided, the time is defaulted to midnight.

Examples GET requests using a date field:

#Date greater than or equal to Jan 1, 2020
curl -X GET "[host]/rest/v2/[resource]?create_date__gte=2020-01-01" -b cookies.txt 

#Date greater than or equal to Jan 1, 2020 at 2PM (note %20 for space)
curl -X GET "[host]/rest/v2/[resource]?create_date__gte=2020-01-01%2014:00:00" -b cookies.txt 
  
#Date between Jan 1, 2020 and Jan 31, 2020
curl -X GET "[host]/rest/v2/[resource]?create_date__gte=2020-01-01&create_date__lte=2020-01-31%2023:59:59" -b cookies.txt

#Magic date filtering using __range modifier (see below)
curl -X GET "[host]/rest/v2/[resource]?create_date__range=last_7_days" -b cookies.txt

"Magic" Date Requests

Migration Notes from 0.5 API

  • In Buzz 0.5 "magic" date fields could be used in the same fashion is proper date time values. In 2.0 you must use the __range modifier.
  • New magic date filters such as last_7_complete_days have been added to allow filtering on complete days.

A number of built-in "magic" strings may be used when filtering by a date field. These fields are calculated by Buzz when the query is executed, so the dates included are relative to the current date and time. These should be with the field modifier __range, for example to specify a create_date within the last 7 days you would add create_date__range=last_7_days to your request.
