I am using ES 7.x and trying to add POST URL from CSV share feature into another system. Is there a way to add date range dynamically [Link here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/query-dsl-range-query.html) because the url provided by UI has fixed date and we do not want to come to UI for link.

To clarify, i am trying to add date range after i copy it over and reuse the same url time and again using range rather than fixed date it was created from.

I was able to do this using shell script and parse date using date command and formatting. The same is being sent as a variable in the API and works fine.  
CYEAR=`date -u -d "30 days ago" '+%Y' | xargs`  
PMONTH=`date -u -d "30 days ago" '+%m' | xargs`  
PDAY=`date -u -d "30 days ago" '+%d' | xargs`  
CMONTH=`date '+%m' | xargs`  
CDAY=`date '+%d' | xargs`

{CYEAR}-${PMONTH}-${PDAY}T18%3A30%3A00.000Z%27%2Clte%3A%27${CYEAR}-${CMONTH}-${CDAY}T
