API search for updated in the last day

Question

Hello-
 
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to query the API for all tasks updated in the last hour?  My search will be a bit more specific, ie tasks within this portfolio and with projects with X attribute.  But basically I want to look tasks updated in NOW-60 or something like that. 
I am basically creating my own event notification by querying the system every 15 minutes or so and looking for changes.  The reason I don't think I can use the even subscription is because I am monitoring a custom field for changes.  Is that correct?  Can I use the even subscription somehow?    
Thanks, Mollie

Hi @molliesh,

Although I didn't see "h" (Hour; or Minute or Second for that matter) listed as being supported, from a quick test, running this snippet in my browser's Workfront tab's URL did appear to return only the Task that was updated within the past hour, so I invite you to try it, too:

https://yourdomain.my.workfront.com/attask/api/v15.0/task/search?lastUpdateDate=$$NOW-1h&lastUpdateDate_Mod=gt

That said, it doesn't appear to support decimals (e.g. $$NOW-0.25h), so "to the hour" might be the lowest level of granularity possible.

I look forward to hearing how you make out!

Regards,

Doug

Doug's answer is great, so I'll speak to just the event subscription piece.

You can create an event subscription for a value change on a custom field, but you have to make sure that tracking is enabled for that custom field in Setup > Interface > Update Feeds. Tracking is not available for calculated fields.

I'm sure you've seen this, but just in case here's a link to Event Subscription documentation:
