Can search results using search API be limited to a date range?

As an example:

/api.ashx/v2/search.json?Query=user:2003 

I need to limit  the search results content CreateDate starting from a specific date.

I used StartDate = 2021-05-05T18:06:58.279Z it brings all the content including the ones created before.

I used DateRangeFilters = 2021-05-05T18:06:58.279Z I get this error:

"'item.FieldName' must not be null or empty. The requested action could not be completed."
Thanks for your help,
Richard
