Webhook documentation shows unusual date/time format

API and Webhooks
1

Generally speaking, the Zoom API returns date in the following format: yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ssZ

There are exceptions where dates are returned as a number which represents the number of ticks since the Epoch .

Today I found yet another format in the documentation: the sample data fordate_time in the meeting.chat_mesage_file_sent webhook is GMT20220110-072010 as you can see in this screenshot:

Is this a typo in the documentation or is this another format that my JSON parsing code should handle?

I also found the same unusual date format in the meeting.chat_mesage_sent, webinar.chat_mesage_file_sentand webinar.chat_mesage_sentwebhooks.

Good catch, that format does look inconsistent with the usual date format. Have you seen the same value in a live webhook payload, or only in the sample data in the documentation?

I haven’t received a meeting.chat_mesage_file_sent webhook yet, so I am unable to verify whether this is an actual problem or if it’s limited to the documentation.
