Appointment Slot UTC?

Afternoon.

The ERS spec doesn’t seem to clearly indicate if the start and end times for an appointment are returned in UTC or not?

The spec purely says :
start: date-time
required

end: date-time
required

The data retrieved when requesting slots comes over as something like:

“start”: “2026-09-20T10:40”,
“end”: “2026-09-20T10:59:00”,

Those times aren’t indicative either way? Having moved some test servers to a different timezone, we are having some issues and want to get clarity on how to best handle that.

Does this mean the appointment is at 10:40 UK time ? Or 11:40 UK time (if UK is +1) etc.

This leads to the follow up question : when booking the appointment, we’ve now hit an error stating the time returned for the slot doesn’t match. If we assume it is 10:40 UTC , and we return 11:40+1 I can understand the mismatch.

Hi @hayward - The start and end date time of the Slot will always be indicated to be UTC.
