REST API Modular Input: Dynamic custom URL arguments

I am using the QualysGuard API v1 call for the user action log. The REST API call requires a date_from parameter to scope the data. I would like to make this call every 5 minutes, and have the date_from parameter be equal to (current time - 5 minutes).

Would it be possible to have this type of dynamic customer url argument?

Thank you.

You can plug in your own custom response handler to accomplish this.I have done this for many other REST endpoints.
Check out the docs, and look at rest_ta/bin/responsehandlers.py
