Monthly



Contains information about each month covered in the span of the data request.  Attribute MonthNumber can be used to parse the full response.  Summary fields represent the total or average for the portion of the month covered in the data request.  For instance if the StartTime = “2020-08-01T00:00:00-08:00” and the EndTime = “2020-08-13T00:00:00-08:00”, the summary fields will only return total or average calculated between StartTime and EndTime and not for the full calendar month (in this case, August).
