[Developers] Incremental download

[Sumit]

Thanks Michele.
I see how one can apply the timestamp property as a condition. However when
I try the query below in query editor, I dont get any results.

Btw, will the timestamp condition apply to only new records i.e. topics
applied after the given timestamp, OR to records that were updated after the
timestamp as well?

Thanks again.
Sumit
