Why does Google API set +01 offset no matter input

问题:

I'm using Google's API Explorer for their Calendar API on this page.

I am inserting an event { "end": { "dateTime": "2016-10-31T06:30:00Z" }, "start": { "dateTime": "2016-10-31T06:00:00Z" } } and have tried the following datetime formats:

2016-10-31T06:00:00Z
2016-10-31T06:00:00-00:00
2016-10-31T06:00:00+00:00

But no matter input format, Google chooses to add an hour when setting the datetime. The response is always:

"start": {
 "dateTime": "2016-10-31T07:00:00+01:00"
}

I'm currently in Stockholm, which has +2 hours offset. I've tried both setting the separate time_zone field and omitting the separate time_zone field.

Why is this happening? And, is there any "right way" or do I simply need to take this added hour into account when setting time?

回答1:

I suggest to use the timeZone property to specify the time zone properly.

Sample request using the "timeZone":"Europe/Stockholm":

{
 "end": {
  "dateTime": "2016-10-31T06:30:00",
  "timeZone": "Europe/Stockholm"
 },
 "start": {
  "dateTime": "2016-10-31T06:00:00",
  "timeZone": "Europe/Stockholm"
 }
}
