Hi,  
I have generate API key and I am getting data for current month by default using the curl command.  
I am checking for some format how to add dates in api to retrieve data for last 3 months.  
I checked documentation but didn't found any example using dates.

```auto
curl -XGET https://api.elastic-cloud.com/api/v1/billing/costs/<organization_id> \
-H "Authorization: ApiKey <yourapikey>"

```

> Query parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `from` | `string` | N | A datetime for the beginning of the desired range for which to fetch costs. Defaults to start of current month. Note: there is currently a three-month maximum date range. |
| `to` | `string` | N | A datetime for the end of the desired range for which to fetch costs. Defaults to end of current month. Note: there is currently a three-month maximum date range. |

`curl -XGET "https://api.elastic-cloud.com/api/v1/billing/costs/4212746406/deployments?from=2021-07-01&to=2021-08-01" -H "Authorization: ApiKey $EC_API_KEY"`

Not the Times are UTC  
Note the quotes around the URL etc syntax is key.

Here specify detailed Date with Time

`curl -XGET "https://api.elastic-cloud.com/api/v1/billing/costs/4212746406/deployments?from=2021-07-01T00:00:00.000Z&to=2021-08-01T00:00:00.000Z" -H "Authorization: ApiKey $EC_API_KEY"`

This is a valid Date

`2021-08-01`

This is a valid Date-Time

`2021-08-01T00:00:00.000Z`
