API response changes while using Custom Time Period in Reports

If you've chosen a custom time period for generating a Summary report, Availability Summary report, or Performance report, and the resultant reporting range is equivalent to that of a system-provided time range, then the final API JSON response data will look similar to that of the system-provided time range.

For example, let's say you've specified a custom date range from 1st Dec, 2018 to 10th Dec, 2018 in your Performance report. Site24x7's reporting engine will automatically equate this period with the system-provided time period "This Month".
