Specifying a time zone

Some API responses return data affected by time zone, e.g. timestamps on chat messages. Requests that accept a timezone are contained in the Chat URIs and Report URIs.

The default time zone for these requests is America/New_York but can be set to any time zone in the Time Zone database either via cookie or request parameter.

Setting time zone via cookie

Create and send a cookie named libraryh3lp-timezone which contains the desired time zone along with your request.

Setting time zone via request parameter

Include a parameter named timezone with your request that specifies the desired time zone. See the documentation for each request that accepts this parameter for further details.
