What do you mean? "RX/TX traffic data" sounds like you want the amount of bytes sent and received over a network interface, but "from modify time like 1 minute" makes no sense to me in this context, as modify timestamps only apply to files...

It it possible get amount of bytes sent and received from last minute? Every commands I try show data by day or from moment of command lunch.

Yes, a lot of statistical data available for various items within the system is relative to when it started. It is up to the user to build upon that information in order to extract what they need. For your requirement it is merely a matter of noting the values at the start and end of the times interval, and then calculating the difference.
Whereas, I typically do this with a c program, in this case I used a python script looking at the primitive network interface data at, for example, cat /proc/net/dev:
$ cat /proc/net/dev
Inter-| Receive | Transmit
face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packets errs drop fifo colls carrier compressed
br0: 863035125 16571440 0 0 0 0 0 0 9122070503 59231752 0 0 0 0 0 0

The script:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
#
import re
import time
previous_rx = 0
previous_tx = 0
while True:
time.sleep(60)
f = open('/proc/net/dev', 'r')
data = f.readlines()
for item in data:
match=re.search(' br0:s',item)
if match is not None:
if_data = ' '.join(item.split())
if_data = if_data.split(' ')
current_rx = if_data[2]
current_tx = if_data[10]
diff_rx = float(current_rx) - float(previous_rx)
diff_tx = float(current_tx) - float(previous_tx)
diff = diff_rx + diff_tx
print "rx packets: "+str(diff_rx)+" : tx packets: "+str(diff_tx)+" : Total packets: "+str(diff)
previous_rx = current_rx
previous_tx = current_tx
And so my network interface, br0:, packets per minute have been:
rx packets: 16571260.0 : tx packets: 59231628.0 : Total packets: 75802888.0 <<< My script doesn't initialize properly.
rx packets: 14.0 : tx packets: 7.0 : Total packets: 21.0
rx packets: 8.0 : tx packets: 7.0 : Total packets: 15.0
rx packets: 10.0 : tx packets: 7.0 : Total packets: 17.0
rx packets: 8.0 : tx packets: 7.0 : Total packets: 15.0
rx packets: 115.0 : tx packets: 80.0 : Total packets: 195.0
rx packets: 31.0 : tx packets: 22.0 : Total packets: 53.0
rx packets: 194.0 : tx packets: 552.0 : Total packets: 746.0
rx packets: 9.0 : tx packets: 7.0 : Total packets: 16.0

What do you mean? "RX/TX traffic data" sounds like you want the amount of bytes sent and received over a network interface, but "from modify time like 1 minute" makes no sense to me in this context, as modify timestamps only apply to files...
