What Timezone formats should we expect data record timestamps to be returned in?

...

A few examples of the varying timezone formats you can expect to receive from Validic are below:
 

  • Adidas provides fitness record timestamps in UTC; however, Adidas does not support a UTC offset, so records from adidas will be delivered in the UTC time of when that activity was completed.

  • FatSecret does not provide timezone offset support and fitness records returned from FatSecret will be representative of the users local time setting they have applied to the FatSecret application.

  • Fitbit object records are returned in UTC format and Fitbit provides timezone offset support, so timestamp format is ISO 8601 standard UTC format "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ" "+00:00", where UTC Time Zone offset (+00:00) is appended when supported as is the case with Fitbit data records.
