DateTimeΒΆ

All timestamps will be returned in the ISO 8601 standard format (yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ).

  • yyyy : 4 digit year
  • MM : 2 digit month
  • dd : 2 digit day
  • HH : hour (on a 24 hour scale)
  • mm : minutes
  • ss : seconds
  • Z : timezone offset

Implementations should honor the timezone but in most cases all timestamps will be returned in UTC with a timezone offset of +0000 (we expect and use the +0000 offset for UTC rather than the Z shorthand that the spec provides for).

For example, the string 20130526T204840+0000 denotes May 26, 2013 at 8:48 and 40 seconds, PM, in UTC.
