Unable to pass correct time for Incremental Feeds
last_extract parameter in API is an optional, UNIX timestamp in seconds. If you leave this blank and fetch full feed, it will give response as per your last extract recorded in our system. Hence in most cases you can leave this blank.
However, this parameter is extremely useful in case the feed was extracted from LinkMyDeals but could not be uploaded in your system due to any error.
A sample API call with a date from 2001 is as follows:
http://feed.linkmydeals.com/getOffers/?API_KEY=[YOUR API KEY]&format=&incremental=1&last_extract=978287400
