Data can be queried by time period:
* ``start_date`` - when the period starts
* ``end_date`` - when the period ends

Parameter Description
========== ===========
start_date When the period starts
end_date When the period ends
========== ===========
Both ``start_date`` and ``end_date`` take as their argument `Unix time
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time>`_
For example to specify ``'Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 UTC 2015'`` the value would be
``1420070400``
Note that if both release and time period are specified then the data is selected for the
intersection (thus the useful way is to specify release as ``all``).
