Decimal Number formats

Throughout the documentation, we use the following notation to indicate the format of fields containing fixed point or decimal numbers: N.M

N is the maximum number of digits to the left of the decimal point, and M is the maximum number of digits to the right of the decimal point.

For example, "6.2" means up to 6 digits left of the decimal point and up to 2 digits to the right.

When there is no imposed limit on the number of digits to the left of the decimal point, we use this notation: N.2, N.3, ... This means the maximum number of digits on the right of the decimal point is provided, but there is no limit on the number of digits on the left. In these cases, extremely large numbers are possible.

When providing a decimal value to an API service, in all cases the API service treats the decimal point and fractional part as optional. For example, sending "9" is the same as sending "9.0".

Date and Time formats

Except where otherwise indicated, the API services use this XSD (XML Schema Definition) Date/Time format for response fields:

yyyy ’-‘ mm ’-‘ dd ‘T’ hh ‘:’ mm ‘:’ ss (‘.’ s+)? (zzzzzz)?

where:

yyyy is the year
mm is the month
dd is the day
The letter ‘T’ signifies that the time will follow
hh is the hour in 24 hour time
mm is the minute of the hour and
ss is the secord of the minute
‘.’ s+ (if present) represents the fractional secords
zzzzz (if present) represents the timezone

For example:

2005-06-10T14:20:17+10:00
