# Time Boundary Queries
|
|
Time boundary queries return the earliest and latest data points of a data set. The grammar is:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"queryType" : "timeBoundary",
|
|
"dataSource": "sample_datasource",
|
|
"bound" : < "maxTime" | "minTime" > # optional, defaults to returning both timestamps if not set
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There are 3 main parts to a time boundary query:
|
|
|
|
|property|description|required?|
|
|
|--------|-----------|---------|
|
|
|queryType|This String should always be "timeBoundary"; this is the first thing Druid looks at to figure out how to interpret the query|yes|
|
|
|dataSource|A String or Object defining the data source to query, very similar to a table in a relational database. See [DataSource](../querying/datasource.html) for more information.|yes|
|
|
|bound | Optional, set to `maxTime` or `minTime` to return only the latest or earliest timestamp. Default to returning both if not set| no |
|
|
|context|See [Context](../querying/query-context.html)|no|
|
|
|
|
The format of the result is:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
[ {
|
|
"timestamp" : "2013-05-09T18:24:00.000Z",
|
|
"result" : {
|
|
"minTime" : "2013-05-09T18:24:00.000Z",
|
|
"maxTime" : "2013-05-09T18:37:00.000Z"
|
|
}
|
|
} ]
|
|
```
