date/time format

The standard date/time format used in the web API is in the format of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS. All date/times shown in resources will be in this format.

When passing a date/time as a value to a resource or to a query parameter, you can use this format or ISO8601 format.

ISO8601 format

ISO8601 format defines a date as being in {yyyy}-{mm}-{dd} format, and a date/time as being in {yyyy}-{mm}-{dd}T{HH}:{MM}:{SS}. A timezone can also be appended to this, using -{HH:MM}.

The following examples are valid dates and date/times:

• 2010-06-27
• 2010-06-27T16:26:30
• 2010-06-27T16:26:30-08:00
