# Date formats

The API only accepts dates formatted in the ISO-8601 standard. These dates should be sent with **no** timezone qualifier. The correct timezone will be implied by the context of the call.

**Example:**

For dates with a time component

```
 YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.s eg. 2017-06-29T18:20:00.00
```

For dates with no time component

```
 YYYY-MM-DD eg. 2017-06-29
```

where\
YYYY = four-digit year\
MM = two-digit month (01=January, etc.)\
DD = two-digit day of month (01 through 31)\
hh = two digits of hour (00 through 23) (am/pm NOT allowed)\
mm = two digits of minute (00 through 59)\
ss = two digits of second (00 through 59)\
s = one or more digits representing a decimal fraction of a second
