I believe you're referring to the unix timestamp -

If not, can you show us a screenshot where you're referring to?

Suppose I need to get all the service list in critical status starting from 1/1/2017, I call the following API, am I right?
/nagios/cgi-bin/statusjson.cgi?query=servicelist&details=true&dateformat=l&servicestatus=critical&servicetimefield=lasttimecritical&starttime=1483228800

This does not seem to give historical data, as the returned starttime parameter is always 1 on my machine, and no matter how far back I set the parameter it returns the same data. Going to check with our Core dev on this behavior.
To be clear, are you looking to limit the results to anything that was last updated between January 1 and now?
Update: If you are in fact looking for historical data, you will want to use something like:
nagios/cgi-bin/archivejson.cgi?query=alertlist&servicestates=critical&starttime=1473228800&endtime=1486411693
