Description

Context

The API docs are great in general. 2 suggestions:

  1. Adding an example for querying time cutoffs:
Image 2. A copy button for the request URL Image
Feature description

For 1., I would like to see the following as an example beneath "Post open timestamp filter"

For example, to query everything opened after 2024-01-01, set this to open_time__gt=2024-01-01. For everything before that date, use open_time__lte=2024-01-01.

Bonus: if there is a validation error, then the error should be shown.

For 2., I would like to see a copy-to-clipboard button just like with other fields
