Dates and Times

When working with dates, our APIs use consistent naming and formats.

Field names should be [something]_at. Examples include:

created_at
started_at
last_event_at

The format will be ISO 8601 standard, for example: 2020-02-21T14:43:23+00:00.

Examples

Why did we choose this?

Suggested and discussed in the #api-standards channel before adoption for future APIs.
