End date of the data, in the same format as start_period. IfNULL, no end date restriction is applied (data retrieved up to the most recent available date). DefaultNULL.- first_n
(
NULL|numeric(1))
Number of observations to retrieve from the start of the series. IfNULL, no restriction is applied. DefaultNULL.- last_n
