Which time zones can I use with the Mindstamp API?
The Mindstamp API accepts standard IANA time zone names, such as America/New_York, when you filter results by date. Unknown names fall back to UTC.
Short answer
Use a standard IANA time zone name, such as America/New_York or Europe/London, in the timezone parameter when you filter API results by date. If you send no time zone, or a name the API does not recognize, the API uses UTC (Etc/UTC).
Example request
This request returns views started in September 2026, with day boundaries in New York time. Some date filters also read an X-Timezone header, so send both.
curl "https://api.mindstamp.com/api/v1/views?started=2026-09-01&finished=2026-09-30&timezone=America/New_York" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
-H "X-Timezone: America/New_York"Rules
- Use the full IANA name in Region/City form. Abbreviations such as EST or PST are not IANA names.
- An unknown name does not return an error. The API quietly uses UTC, so check your results.
- Names with a sub-region need the full path, for example America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires or America/Indiana/Indianapolis. America/Argentina and America/Indiana alone are not valid.
- The time zone decides which records fall inside a date filter.
