Difficulty passing date restrictions to query_tv

[thomasjwood]

Fantastic package, but I'm missing something silly in passing date restrictions to the query_tv() function. For instance

library(newsflash)
library(tidyverse)

q1 <- query_tv(
"election",
  start_date = "2015-01-01" %>%
as.Date,
  end_date = "2015-01-31" %>%
as.Date
)

returns

 qtv1$timeline %>% head
# A tibble: 6 x 5
  date_start            date_end date_resolution      station value
      <dttm>              <dttm>           <chr>        <chr> <int>
1 2009-07-02 2009-07-02 23:59:59             day    Bloomberg     0
2 2009-07-02 2009-07-02 23:59:59             day         CNBC     1
3 2009-07-02 2009-07-02 23:59:59             day          CNN     1

How do I use temporal restrictions on search?

[yeedle]

Use timespan = "custom". By default, timespan is set to "all" which causes the temporal ranges to be ignored.

I need to make that better in the docs (tho their API is also less than stellar)

Awesome, thanks!
