Date Range Node
The Date Range Node is the primary driver of your analytics pipeline. It defines the temporal window for all connected nodes.
Time Window Selection
Every analysis starts with a time frame. The Date Range node outputs a standardized date object from its Cyan handle. When you connect this to other nodes, they automatically sync their data fetching to match this period.
The All preset covers your channel's whole life: every all-time window starts on the day your channel was created. Only if that date cannot be read does it fall back to YouTube's launch date. Answers about an all-time window show it as All time.

- Custom A slider for any number of days, up to your channel's full age.
- Refresh The refresh button in the node header pulls fresh data from YouTube for every node on the canvas. It shows a spinner and stays disabled until the reload finishes. See Visualizing Data for how refreshing affects earlier answers.
