[Raviv_Erel]

Language:

Locale:

English (United States)

Time Zone:

(GMT+02:00) Israel Standard Time (Asia/Jerusalem) (IST)

[SanfordWhiteman]

Can't repro this. The displayed time is in my local location (I even switched to IST to test), the stored time as expected is in UTC.

How are you testing this? Direct cURL/Postman or passing through some language that may be changing the value?

[Raviv_Erel]

using the rest api direct

can u show me the json you are sending?

[SanfordWhiteman]

As simple as (with the Push endpoint):

{
    "programName": "Maintenance",
    "lookupField": "id",
    "input": [
        {
             "id" : 6142120,
             "mktoAcquisitionDate" : "2019-11-07T07:51:43Z"
        }
    ]
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

i am using the update lead rest api,

mybe its not working there?

[SanfordWhiteman]

Nope, exactly the same results for me.

[Raviv_Erel]

can you put a full example and i will try it?

[SanfordWhiteman]

I think you should post a full example of what you're trying.  My Push example above is as simple as can be.

[Raviv_Erel]

talking about the value of the field....got the datetime field on a lead and want to be utc ( i am sending it utc...and it changed to pst)

[SanfordWhiteman]

We need to be very precise here. If you read the value using the API then surely you are seeing exactly what you put in, and that's "the value" (since everything else is a displayed value). Pls confirm that first, then we can continue.

[Raviv_Erel]

this is waht iam taking about 

this is what i sent in the api  2019-11-07T07:51:41Z

and the above its the field value

[SanfordWhiteman]

Please answer my previous question, reading via the API. It's an essential question, what you're seeing here is a display value.

Sanford Whiteman Have timezone related queries for bulk extract API of activity.

You can refer this - https://nation.marketo.com/thread/52253-timezone-for-bulk-export-api-of-activity 

[Raviv_Erel]

OK sent 2019-11-07T07:51:41Z and still marketo attribute datetime was with timezone -10...why is that ( rest api )

[SanfordWhiteman]

Where are you checking the field after writing it?

Are you reading it from the API (which should be in Z, exactly as written)?

Or are you talking about the token value in Velocity, which is stringified in CST for all instances but can be easily converted?

[SanfordWhiteman]

Are you really sending just "019", not "2019"?

Times are stored in UTC (Z). If you mean to pass UTC in your API call, include "Z", not "+00:00".

[Raviv_Erel]

2019

ok i will try

[Saptarshi_Konar]

I am also confused about the timezone.

Need clarification what is the timezone marketo is considering for rest APIs.
