ISO 8601
ISO 8601 is an international standard that defines a uniform format for the representation of dates and times. The fixed order (year > month > day > hour > minute > second) avoids ambiguities that can arise with country-specific formats.
Examples:
| Format | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Date only | 2026-06-15 | June 15, 2026 |
| Date + time | 2026-06-15T09:30:00+02:00 | June 15, 2026, 9:30 AM (CEST) |
In memida, all timestamps, both in the API and in data exports, use the ISO 8601 format. This facilitates automated processing in any programming language and tool.
