To make entering dates more user-friendly, dates can be sent as strings instead of JSON dates.  The accepted string date format is a subset of ISO 8601.  The following two date formats are supported: 

​
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss

Where:
  • YYYY: four digits for year (2014).
  • MM: two digits for month (01 to 12, 01 = January).
  • DD: two digits for day of month (01 to 31). 
  • hh: two digits for hours (00 to 23). 
  • mm: two digits for minutes (00 to 59). 
  • ss: two digits for seconds (00 to 59).
The date and time format for Live Position Latest, Vehicle Journey Latest, and Driver Journey Latest includes milliseconds, therefore the date/time format is as follows:

​
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.ms

Where:
  • As YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss
  • ms: three digits for milliseconds (000 to 999).

​
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

All times returned and sent to the API are in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
