Twitter - Tweeet Time Zone

Question

What is the time zone used for tweets in the Twitter API?

Answer 1

The time zone of each tweet is automatically converted to the local time zone. If you need UTC, you can use the .ToUniversalTime () method, for example:
myTweet.CreatedDate.ToUniversalTime();

Answer 2

The created_at field for a tweet in the Twitter REST API gives a timestamp in UTC.

If the user has configured their time zone using Twitter, the utc_offset field gives you the difference in seconds between their time zone and UTC. So,

"utc_offset":-28800

corresponds to -28800/3600 = -8 hours with UTC.

There are a couple of recommendations that don't get adjusted for daylight saving time.

Answer 3

The time zone is located in the user settings of the delivery parameters.
