Dates and Times

All dates and times used in Sivo APIs follow the ISO 8601 standard. This makes dates easy to understand by both humans and machines, and avoid confusion associated with regional standards. All times sent and received from Sivo should be in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

  • A date like November 14, 2022 is represented as 2022-11-14
  • A date and time like November 14, 2022 3:51 pm EST is represented as 2022-11-14T19:51:00Z

Durations

Fields that describe a length of time — like a receivable's term, its payment_frequency, or a periodic fee's cycle_type — take a duration string in the form "<count> <unit>", where the unit is day, week, month, or year, singular or plural:

  • "30 days"
  • "2 weeks"
  • "1 month"
  • "12 months"
