"is_oneoff" is off by default. 

"interval" is documented as "In normal (not one-off) measurements, this
value represents the number of seconds between measurements by a
single probe."

I never tried "spread".

I don't know the exact JSON you sent but this one worked (5 minutes, 1
minute between each test):

{'definitions': [{'target': 'fr-ilm-as57119.anchors.atlas.ripe.net', 'af': 4, 'interval': 60, 'packets': 1, 'type': 'ping', 'description': 'Ping fr-ilm-as57119.anchors.atlas.ripe.net'}], 'start_time': 1532026200, 'stop_time': 1532026500, 'probes': [{'requested': 1, 'type': 'area', 'value': 'WW'}]}

And it gave this measurement:
