The results can also be bucketed in time by specifying a bucket query parameter which buckets information per bucket in the given timeframe. Data is bucketed by time. Valid bucket values include hour, day and week).

?min_time=-7%20day&bucket=day

The block that contains the max_time timestamp is excluded from the result.
