Hera a description of the different types you can use:

When you create a query, you'll need to specify the "type". Here are your options: ticks, minutes, nearbyMinutes, formTMinutes, daily, dailyNearest, dailyContinue, weekly, weeklyNearest, weeklyContinue, monthly, monthlyNearest, monthlyContinue, quarterly, quarterlyNearest, quarterlyContinue, yearly, yearlyNearest, yearlyContinue

For Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / Yearly: Shows the historical trading activity only for the contract specified.

For Daily Nearest / Weekly Nearest / Monthly Nearest / Quarterly Nearest / Yearly Nearest: Builds historical using the nearest contract. The nearest contract is the closest unexpired contract for the underlying commodity, where every chart bar represents the front month at that point in history.

For Daily Continue / Weekly Continue / Monthly Continue / Quarterly Continue / Yearly Continue: Builds historical using the same month specified for the original contract. For example, if the symbol is ZSX13 (Soybeans November 2013), the chart is built using all previous November contracts for Soybeans (ZSX13, ZSX12, ZSX11, ZSX10 etc).

For minutes: Builds historical minute data based in the interval that you choose. For example, 1 minute bars, 5 minute bars, 10 minute bars, etc.

For nearbyMinutes: Similar to dailyNearest however in minute form. dailyNearest (rolls onto the next months' contract) Looking historically it will connect the contracts together to have a clear image of futures historical

For formTMinutes: Build historical data based on a minute query to include pre/post market hour trading into your query.
