Does anyone know if this API will accept Olson tz labels like "America/Los_Angeles" for the timezone field?
I'm using this API: http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/events/event_new/
Where it says for timezone:
The event time zone in relation to GMT (e.g., “GMT+01″, “GMT+02″, “GMT-01″).
I know from other community discussion that this will also accept values like "US/Pacific".
I also took a look at the select dropdown in the manual event entry form, and the values appear to be Olson tz labels. I just want to know if anyone can confirm this. I'll confirm it myself once I get the event post working through the API, but would love to save time by knowing ahead of time.
Thanks!
Yes, Olson tz labels are allowed on input, and are now the default output format for that field.
The previous timezone input values ('GMT+8', 'US/Pacific', 'PT', etc.) are still allowed, and are now automatically remapped to their Olson-compatible equivalent ('America/Los Angeles') on input.
