    Hi umor,

    Can you clarify, why you expect that parameters "start_date" and "end_date" are available? As far as I can see in documentation only available are "limit", "account_id", "time" and "category". :thinking:

    If you want to use "start_date" and "end_date", have to 'catch' them in "time" parameter. (format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") :wink:

    Hope this helps.

umor Здравко is correct, your datetime strings need to be quoted, and nested inside the "time" parameter, per the documentation. 

I recommend using the API v2 Explorer to help prototype these calls. It can build the code for you. (Click "Show Code".)

In your actual app's code, we recommend using a JSON library to build the JSON for you, as that will be much less error-prone than attempting to write it by hand.
