Server-side date/year filter for the API items endpoint

[Hafiz Azhari]

Is there a way to filter items by publication year server-side? The ?q=2020 param does text matching, which sometimes not accurate (e.g., a 2015 paper titled "The 2020 Consensus" matches because the title contains "2020").  

Am I missing an existing param, or could we get something like ?year=2020 or ?dateFrom=2015&dateTo=2020 added to the items endpoint?
