start_at parameter for /sync/ratings/* and /users/:user/comments

[Stefanuk12]

The problem

Get watched history has the ability to specify a date range. However, get comments and get ratings do not have equivalent parameters for commented_at and rated_at.

My situation

I am writing an app that syncs Trakt between other platforms and having these parameters help me ensure I efficiently use the API. At the moment, I grab all ratings and comments, then filter in my application.

The ideal solution

More filters:

• For this case, start_at and end_at, just like the watched history endpoint would be ideal.
• Or, a search query can be used instead with more minute control, down to specific fields in the response.

Possible alternatives

Those endpoints are paginated and they are sorted by the time they were last inserted/updated. Therefore, I can grab 10 results at a time, stopping when I surpass my last sync time. However, the issue with this approach is that I need to make repeated requests and it complicates the code.
