    Hi.
    "From" doesn't work when I try to call API logs. I always get the last entries instead, just as without the "from".
    "To" works just fine, as far as I could tell.

    What's going on?



    Examples:
    https://api.torn.com/user/?selections=log&log=1210,1211,1212,12210&to=1620000000&key=
    This works fine. I get a few logs up to the specified time

    https://api.torn.com/user/?selections=log&log=1210,1211,1212,12210&from=1620000000&key=
    Doesn't work. I get the last log entries no matter what stamp I use. Only difference is "to" and "from".
    Can't make sense of this.

    "from" gets the last 100 calls between that timestamp and to (=now when absent). So if you got more than 100 logs since then, it will show the last 100 and you'll have to work your way back.

    Ah, I thought it works totally differently. Thank you for your reply.

    Here is my suggestion for the "From"-function, also it's how I thought it already works:

    Not really. I set From start of last year and it only shows latest data, ignoring "from" completely. A bit of a bummer.

    That's exactly what I said? It gets the 100 last (=newest) rows between to (=now when absent) and from (=ignored when absent). You need to work from newest to oldest, not the other way around. There is a valid reason for it, but you'll have to take my word for it as I can't find the source and me being committee means I have to be careful with giving information.
