Does Terra timestamps include timezone offset?

Hello there,

Yes, when the timezone is available, all the timestamps in the payload come with the timezone offset at the end, like 2024-02-28T13:43:45+01:00 which is UTC+01. If the timezone is unknown to us or given by the data provider, the timezone will be given in UTC - so the best practice would be to detect the user's timezone in the frontend, convert the timestamp we provide (considering the offset) to their local timezone.

Hope that answers your question!

I need to always retrieve data, such as end_time, in the user's device timezone. How can I ensure that Terra retrieves timestamps with the user's timezone, or how can I pass the current user's timezone to Terra so that it returns timestamps in the correct timezone?

Hi there,

You can't pass the time zone in yourself, but Terra will receive this information in most cases from the wearable data provider directly
