Bad dateEvent, strEventTime in v2 feed


Posted: 27 Sep 2021 19:05


Is there a problem with the dateEvent/strEventTime in the v2 feed for American Football. I'm seeing the following in the feed:

{
"idLiveScore": "16842274",
"idEvent": "1134454",
"strSport": "American Football",
"idLeague": "4391",
"strLeague": "NFL",
"idHomeTeam": "134934",
"idAwayTeam": "134936",
"strHomeTeam": "Dallas Cowboys",
"strAwayTeam": "Philadelphia Eagles",
"strHomeTeamBadge": "https://www.thesportsdb.com/images/media/team/badge/wrxssu1450018209.png",
"strAwayTeamBadge": "https://www.thesportsdb.com/images/media/team/badge/pnpybf1515852421.png",
"intHomeScore": "0",
"intAwayScore": "0",
"strPlayer": null,
"idPlayer": null,
"intEventScore": null,
"intEventScoreTotal": null,
"strStatus": null,
"strProgress": "pre",
"strEventTime": "22:00",
"dateEvent": "2021-09-28",
"updated": "2021-09-27 19:45:21"
}

The game is on 2021-09-28 00:15 UTC.

Data looks good on our site I think.

Looks like its very close to mid night UTC, Maybe its a time difference thing?

The game was played on 09/27/2021 19:15 CDT. CDT is 5 hours behind UTC, so the dateEvent, 2021-09-28, strEventTime, 22:00, in the feed equates to CDT date/time, 2021-09-28 17:00. Am I overlooking something? Is the dateEvent/strEventTime in UTC?

Here is the flashscore summary, all looks correct to me and identical to our site for UTC start time and date.

The local time and date is completely editable by anyone so its worth correcting if you see an error. We only really guarantee the UTC date so people can programmatically get their local time.

Of course as always anything is editable on our site by anyone.

Just a FYI, the V1 feeds have the correct game time
