# AbsoluteTimeRange
<a name="API_AbsoluteTimeRange"></a>

A time range, in milliseconds, between two points in your media file.

You can use `StartTime` and `EndTime` to search a custom segment. For example, setting `StartTime` to 10000 and `EndTime` to 50000 only searches for your specified criteria in the audio contained between the 10,000 millisecond mark and the 50,000 millisecond mark of your media file. You must use `StartTime` and `EndTime` as a set; that is, if you include one, you must include both.

You can use also `First` to search from the start of the audio until the time that you specify, or `Last` to search from the time that you specify until the end of the audio. For example, setting `First` to 50000 only searches for your specified criteria in the audio contained between the start of the media file to the 50,000 millisecond mark. You can use `First` and `Last` independently of each other.

If you prefer to use percentage instead of milliseconds, see [RelativeTimeRange](API_RelativeTimeRange.md).
