Inconsistant Date format - Datasets - Metadata Latest - Datetime format issue #25

Closed pyoxall67 closed 7 months ago

pyoxall67 commented 8 months ago

Datasets - Metadata Latest API documentation | Insights Solution (elexon.co.uk) According to API main documentation datetime should be written using RFC3339 format. Also, in bottom section of attachment, date time example is written using RFC3339 format, with 3 places for second fragments and ending with Z mark.

But when testing the API or calling the API datetime format returned doesn't have the Z mark. Which Time zone is used for this report and which time format is applicable for it? pic1

Hi @pyoxall67, thank you for raising this. The datetime here is in the UTC timezone, and the formatting should reflect this. I've raised a change to get this fixed, and it should be resolved in the live system in the coming weeks.

This has now been fixed, and results returned from this endpoint are correctly formatted using RFC3339 and showing the UTC timezone
