Dates & time

Formats

For specific points in time (often referred to as DateTimes), string that are compliant with RFC-3339 can be used.

Note that there are some restrictions that apply:

  • Only the T separator is supported (not a lowercased t or a whitespace or any other character)
  • The "unknown offset" -00:00 (and it's implications) are not supported

For dates (without a specific time indication), the same format as the date section of RFC-3339 can be used, e.g. 2022-08-17.

For times (without a specific date indication), the military time format (HH:mm) can be used, e.g. 19:05.

Time zones

The Pexip Engage REST API supports time zone formats according to the IANA Time Zone Database format, but not necessarily the latest version.
