api.dropbox.com/1/team/log/get_events help with parameters

[Rethinkit A.]

I can't figure out what's wrong with my request  to get_events.
It works fine without the date parameters.

The documentation is here.

I've tried it:
"start_ts:" 1441374492
"start_ts:" "1441374492"
"start_ts:" 1441374492000 (in case they really want milliseconds - see other post)

$token = 'IvRWv7I_TOKEN_REMOVED_FOR_OBVIOUS_REASONSzzzzqaC'
$uri='https://api.dropbox.com/1/team/log/get_events'

$body_req= '{"category": "logins"}'  ### Works fine.
$body_req= '{"category": "logins", "start_ts:" 1441374492, "end_ts:" 1443966661}'  ### Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
$res = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Body $body_req -ContentType 'application/json' -Headers @{ Authorization = ("Bearer " + $token) } -Method Post
$res

What's the body of the 400 response? The API is usually pretty good at telling you what's wrong.

Thanks- you were right. Once I figured out how to read the response I found the typo:

$body_req= '{"category": "logins", "start_ts:" 1441374492, "end_ts:" 1443966661}'  ### Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.

should be: (the colon marks go outside the quote marks)

$body_req= '{"category": "logins", "start_ts": 1441374492, "end_ts": 1443966661}'  ### OK

And by the way the dates ARE in milliseconds so actually make the dates x1000

$body_req= '{"category": "logins", "start_ts": 1441374492000, "end_ts": 1443966661000}'  ### OK
