Accepted Date Formats for API Integrations

FillFaster Support

Last Update 20 days ago

Date Format Requirement

All dates sent to FillFaster by API should use the international standard date format:


YYYY-MM-DD
  • YYYY: 4-digit year (e.g., 2024)

  • MM: 2-digit month (e.g., 06 for June)

  • DD: 2-digit day (e.g., 05 for the 5th day)


This is the ISO 8601 date format, which is widely used for international data exchange.


Key Points
  • Only the date part is used. If you include time or timezone information (e.g., 2024-06-05T14:30:00Z), everything after the date will be ignored.

  • This format is required for all date fields in your API requests.

  • Locale and timezone are not required—just the date in the specified format.

Incorrect Formats
  • 06/05/2024

  • 05-06-2024

  • 2024/06/05

  • 2024.06.05

  • 2024-6-5


Always use four digits for the year, two for the month, and two for the day, separated by dashes, as in ISO 8601.

Summary
  • Send: YYYY-MM-DD

  • Ignore: Any time or timezone after the date

  • Why: Ensures consistent, international, and reliable date handling
