What time zone does the API use?

This article helps to understand how timestamps are handled in Smartvatten’s API

Written by Katri

All timestamps returned by the Smartvatten API are provided in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
​

Timestamp Format

The API uses the ISO 8601 standard for date and time values.
​

Example:

2025-07-25T10:00:00Z
​

The Z at the end of the timestamp indicates that the time is in UTC.
​

Data Availability

Data in the Smartvatten API is available with a 3-hour delay from real time.

This delay allows Smartvatten to validate and process incoming data before it is made available through the API, helping to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the reported values.
