Thats not how those parameters work. You use either or, not both. You are either going forward or backwards thru the contribs based on which you use. You need to apply some logic on the application layer to filter the results to what you need.

Hello all,

I want to get a usercontrib details of a wikisource user in given date range.

Trying this

if I give only ucstart, it works fine. adding ucend gives 0 result.

Need help on solving this.

Share your thoughts on how to solve this.

Thanks.

The contributions are listed in reverse chronological order (newest first), so your 'ucstart' and 'ucend' parameters also need to be reversed ('ucstart' is the newer timestamp, 'ucend' is the earlier). This works:

Alternatively, you can choose to list the contributions in chronological order (earliest first) using 'ucdir=newer', in which case 'ucstart' and 'ucend' are opposite, like in your original query:
