is it correct passing time frame as an object to resource management reports API?

Tamer Moustafa

Hello,

When connecting to the report rows endpoint, I am receiving an error when using the timeframe as shown in the API documentation.

"time_frame":{ "from": "2022-01-01",

 "to":"2022-12-31"}

Error message received:

{'message': 'to is not a valid time_frame'}

I also tried to pass the 'from' and 'to' as a separate parameter without passing the 'time_frame' tag, I am also receiving an error.

any idea on how to pass the a date range to the time_frame parameter ?

The API works without error when using one of the canned strings such as:

• this_week
• this_month
• this_quarter
• this_year
• last_week
• last_month
• last_quarter
• last_year
• next_30
• next_60
• next_90
• last_30
• last_60
• last_90
• last_and_next_90

Below is the screenshot when passing a string to the time frame - it works fine.

Hi @Genevieve P. ,

I managed to do it, I am using Python and Jupyter notebook.

This is how I made the request:

the problem was that I was making the request like this :

The point is when we have a parameter that is passed as an object (time_frame) then within the request we need pass the pramas like this (json = params) not (params = params).

Please note that rq is an alias for the request (import request as rq)

Hi @Tamer Moustafa

Have you been able to resolve this? I am only currently able to test in Postman, and in my instance I'm able to get the Report with the time frame structured as follows:

However I know in a previous Community post you mentioned in your program you need to write the Group By array in additional quotes for it to pass through. I am wondering if there's a similar format adjustment needed for the time frame parameters... for example, single quotation marks instead of double.

Hey @Tamer Moustafa

Thank you for coming back to explain how you achieved this! This is very helpful information to know for anyone else using both Python and Jupyter.
