Hi @cjord!

You need to use data plugin. It will be available on time filter services:  
Something like: `data.query.timefilter.timefilter.getTime()`

> Hi @Thomas_Pierrot, welcome to the community wave You can get current global time range from time filter service in data plugin: Then you can use it to build your custom range filter

And this is how it used in one of our developer examples plugins:
