For the query, I am supplying a start-time and an end-time using a Virtual Button for testing: { "searchstart": 0, "searchend": 1571436455 } Using the above parameters, I get results which suggest that searchstart and searchend are being interpreted as seconds-since-epoch rather than milliseconds-since-epoch as stated here: [https://forums.losant.com/t/schema-for-the-body-of-a-time-series-query/1586/4](https://forums.losant.com/t/schema-for-the-body-of-a-time-series-query/1586/4) The time-series query …

After looking closely at your url, I noticed that the punctuation characters were escaped with a backslash: …/export\?email\=ecn@systemsofmerritt.com\&start\=-1012000\&end\=0 The url below is what was giving us trouble: …/export?email=ecn@systemsofmerritt.com&start=-1012000&end=0 I’m not sure why it even recognized the email, but it only does if it is the first thing after the “?”.
