# Time Zone Conversion
1. Time Zone Conversion Target Object
There are 3 APIs involved in time zone handling:
2. Time Zone Conversion Rules
(1) All time-related fields in the documentation are transmitted in the UTC+0 time zone.
(2) The value in timePeriods should always conform to the rule: endTime > startTime.
(3) If the time spans a day after conversion to the UTC+0 time zone, it should be split into two parts.
(4) 24:00 should be transmitted as: 23:59:00.000Z.
3. Time Zone Conversion Examples
Take Brazil's official time zone UTC-3 as an example.
3.1 [ data + timePeriod ] combination scenario
(1) The conversion to UTC+0 will not cross the day
If the local time is: **2024-04-07 08:00-20:00**, the format transmitted in the API should be (after converting to UTC+0):
```
[
{
"date": "2021-04-07",
"timePeriods": {
"startTime": "11:00:00.000Z",
"endTime": "23:00:00.000Z"
}
}
]
```
(2) The conversion to UTC+0 will cross the day
If the local time is: **2024-04-07 10:00-22:00**, the format transmitted in the API should be (after converting to UTC+0):
```
[
{
"date": "2021-04-07",
"timePeriods": {
"startTime": "13:00:00.000Z",
"endTime": "23:59:00.000Z"
}
},
{
"date": "2021-04-08",
"timePeriods": {
"startTime": "00:00:00.000Z",
"endTime": "01:00:00.000Z"
}
}
]
```
3.2 [ dayOfWeek + timePeriod ] combination scenario
(1) The conversion to UTC+0 will not cross the day
If the local time is: **Monday & Tuesday 08:00-20:00**, the format transmitted in the API should be (after converting to UTC+0):
```
[
{
"dayOfWeek": [
"MONDAY",
"TUESDAY"
],
"timePeriods": {
"startTime": "11:00:00.000Z",
"endTime": "23:00:00.000Z"
}
}
]
```
(2) The conversion to UTC+0 will cross the day
If the local time is: **Monday & Tuesday 10:00-22:00**, the format transmitted in the API should be (after converting to UTC+0):
```
[
{
"dayOfWeek": [
"MONDAY"
],
"timePeriods": {
"startTime": "11:00:00.000Z",
"endTime": "23:59:00.000Z"
}
},
{
"dayOfWeek": [
"TUESDAY"
],
"timePeriods": {
"startTime": "00:00:00.000Z",
"endTime": "01:00:00.000Z"
}
},
{
"dayOfWeek": [
"TUESDAY"
],
"timePeriods": {
"startTime": "11:00:00.000Z",
"endTime": "23:59:00.000Z"
}
},
{
"dayOfWeek": [
"WEDNESDAY"
],
"timePeriods": {
"startTime": "00:00:00.000Z",
"endTime": "01:00:00.000Z"
}
}
]
```
Finally merge into:
```
[
{
"dayOfWeek": [
"MONDAY",
"TUESDAY"
],
"timePeriods": {
"startTime": "11:00:00.000Z",
"endTime": "23:59:00.000Z"
}
},
{
"dayOfWeek": [
"TUESDAY",
"WEDNESDAY"
],
"timePeriods": {
"startTime": "00:00:00.000Z",
"endTime": "01:00:00.000Z"
}
}
]
```
