UTC Format
UTC is a standard date and time format.
Dates
A date in UTC format looks like this:
- 2010-11-12
That format contains a four-digit year, a 2-digit month, and a 2-digit day, separated by hyphens (yyyy-MM-dd).
Times
A time in UTC format looks like this:
- 13:14:15Z
That format contains 2-digits for the hour (13), based on a 24-hour clock, followed by two digits for minutes (14), and two digits for seconds (15), separated by colons (HH:mm:ss). (The standard allows for a even finer levels of granularity, but they are not reported by or used by the platform.)
The final character in that format designates the time zone, where Z is "zero-time", or Greenwich Mean Time. (That format is used for all times reported by the platform.)
