DateTime Data Type

DateTime is a date-and-time value specified in one of the following formats:

• UTC format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ. For example: 2011-03-15T02:00:00Z.
• Local time with an offset: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss + or - hh:mm (positive or negative offset). For example, for US Pacific time: 2011-03-14T06:00:00-08:00.

The DateTime type requires both date and time. For further information about UTC time, see http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime.

DateTime in Requests and Responses

• All request DateTime values must be specified in either UTC format or as local time with an offset.
• All response DateTime values are in UTC format. You need to apply the UTC offset to calculate the local time for display.
