ZDE - Items

Introduction

All the available items evolve with time and use specific tables from the Zetaly database. This section contains all the information relative to these tables and how to populate them.
For more information about ZSA and how to configure it, refer to this article.

Due to technical limitations, temporal parameters are only handled at the millisecond level. The query will return a range of results on one millisecond after input time.
