REST Incrementing Start & End

This may be trivial...

I have a REST API URL:

...api.thiswebsite.com/client/v4/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/logs?start=(date-time-format)&end=(date-time-format)

The date-time-format they are requesting is RFC-3339 format:
e.g.
2020-01-29T17:00:21Z

The json that is returned looks like this:

{"ClientIP":"XXX.XXX.XXX","EndTimestamp":"2020-01-29T17:18:47Z","ResponseBytes":11627,"ResponseStatus":200,"StartTimestamp":"2020-01-29T17:18:47Z""}

Ideally, the start and end times would increment...
But I am unsure how to do this with the Add-On builder.
