Date range control
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
If you are working with a data source that requires a date range when fetching
data, you can take advantage of the Looker Studio date range features.
To enable the date range control feature for your Community Connector, set
dateRangeRequired to true in your
getConfig response. Then,
Looker Studio will include a start and end date with every
getData request made to your
connector.
getData behavior when dateRangeRequired is true
When dateRangeRequired is set to true in your getConfig response, each
getData request will contain a
dateRange object with startDate and endDate parameters. The date
parameters will be in YYYY-MM-DD format. You can use these values in data
fetch requests to third-party services.
- By default, the date range provided will be the last 28 days, excluding
today.
- If a user applies a date range filter for a report then the date range
provided will reflect the user selection.
- When Looker Studio is attempting to detect
semantic types,
sampleExtraction is set to
true in getData requests. For these requests, the date provided for the
start and the end date is two days earlier than today.
