i'm using Splunk java sdk to get search result. i want to setup timestamp for my search.

Args oneshotSearchArgs = new Args();
oneshotSearchArgs.put("earliest_time", "2019-02-19T12:00:00.000-07:00");
oneshotSearchArgs.put("latest_time", "2019-02-20T12:00:00.000-07:00");
String oneshotSearchQuery ="search index=app | head 2";

Instead giving date manually, i want to give

earliest_time --> 2 days
latest_time --> now

How can i do it?
