Dates

The mail2many API uses standardized date formats. All timestamps are returned and expected in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

Timestamps​

Timestamps are transferred in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS:

2026-03-04 14:30:45

All timestamps are in UTC. If you need a different time zone, you must convert the values accordingly.

Date values​

For date-only values (for example, a birthday), the format YYYY-MM-DD is used:

1990-12-24

Time zone handling​

When working with timestamps:

  • All incoming timestamps are in UTC
  • Convert to your desired time zone when needed
  • Always send timestamps back to the API in UTC

The format remains consistent: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS for timestamps and YYYY-MM-DD for date-only values.
