Description
Filters the results based on the duration of the auction. Takes in an integer value that is equal to the number of days the auction was listed before it closed. The most popular values are 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10. Store auctions often close 30 days after they are listed, however there is still a sizable portion of listings that close with an odd duration. It is worth noting that not all listings that close after a certain number of days were listed specifically for that number of days, as auctions with a fixed price or buy it now can end at any time after they are listed. This node will accept any positive integer. At this point, you may only search for a single duration. In future versions of the API Schema, we may extend this functionality to allow multiple durations to be specified.

NOTE: When using the duration filter, keep in mind that buy it now, store, and fixed price auctions can end early, and will have a duration based on the day they started and the day they were bought out, as opposed to the day they were scheduled to end. This can artificially inflate the success rate and average price of shorter duration (1-5 day) searches.
