Timezones for Date property values #1

Closed lastorel closed 2 years ago

lastorel commented 2 years ago

This example {'date': {'start': '2021-11-24T00:20:42.171423', 'end': None}} will be accepted like UTC time. Notion shows Today 00:20 (UTC) Well it is not correct time for my timezone in reality. Yeah, I can to modify timezone in "Date format..." in Notion, but this is not the automation.

Let's try to push to API other representations of date.

Notion API always returns time in format 2021-11-23T18:57:00.000Z . UTC. This string converts in 2021-11-23T18:57:00.000+00:00 and Models have UTC time. You can use .astimezone() to convert this time to your local system time.

When you create or update something, ex. PropertyValue(type_="date", value=datetime.datetime.now()), your timezone will be added automatically. Thus Notion receives correct time value.
