Hi Brandon, The account timezone is chosen and fixed in place upon account creation. The data and statistics will always be in that timezone. For the most part, this doesn't matter because we don't expose time values in reports. It does come into play when scheduling report downloads. You could think of your account as a member of a timezone that doesn't obey daylight savings time. The Timezone returned by the API doesn't change, but YOUR timezone does (due to daylight savings time). As a result, you'll need to adjust when a report runs to follow daylight savings time to make sure that the report contains the data you expect - i.e. that you are pulling data three hours behind the account timezone.
Please note that we don't recommend relying on the hour-by-hour changes in reports. Not all statistics are available on an hourly basis, see here<http://support.google.com/adwords/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=2544985>for more details. - Kevin Winter AdWords API Team On Monday, August 13, 2012 3:49:10 PM UTC-4, Brandon Parise wrote: > > I pull a report @ 3:30PM EST and this is an example row: > > 98697020,2012-08-13,15,(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time > > The problem here is that currently Eastern Time is GMT-04:00 due to > daylight savings. > > This is causing some confusion on our end because 3PM @ -05:00 offset is > actually in the "future" > > Brandon > -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
