downloads.DownloadQuery

The DownloadQuery type of the downloads API defines a set of parameters that can be used to search the downloads manager for a specific set of downloads.

This type is used for example in downloads.search() and downloads.erase(), as a query object to filter the set of DownloadItems to return or erase.

Values of this type are objects. They contain the following properties:

startedBeforeOptional

A DownloadTime. Include only DownloadItems that started before the given time.

startedAfterOptional

A DownloadTime. Include only DownloadItems that started after the given time.
