FAQ

Please take our Survey so we can better serve you.

1) Do you have a forum where I can talk to other NetDNA Developers?

Yes our tag on StackOverflow is netdna-api: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/netdna-api

2) What time zone are reports returned in? What is the time zone filed in account for (give the actual name)?

Reports are in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The purpose of this is so that billing and reports are done in the same time zone and all the edge server logs are sync'd to GMT. In previous versions of the API we did translations of time zones and we have found it easier to develop using the standardized GMT time zone. The time zone in the Account setting is used solely for customer service purposes and not to adjust the time zone of reports.
