Use time={value} — default 30-days. Presets: today, 7-days, 30-days, 90-days, this-month, last-month, this-year, last-year, or a custom range YYYY-MM-DD,YYYY-MM-DD.

Game windows are whole days

Game metrics have no intraday granularity. An exact-time window is not supported here: time=2026-09-07 12:00,2026-09-07 18:00 answers 404 not_found with This game is not in our database for the given platform and time period and is not charged. Read that 404 as "this window is not supported", not as "no data for this game" — pass plain dates or a preset instead.

1	Riot	`riot`
2	Rockstar Games	`rockstar-games`
3	Take-Two Interactive	`take-two-interactive`
4	Tencent Games	`tencent-games`
