Issue and question regarding the publishDate field

Closed

resolute_waterfall opened this issue

@API Dojo hello I have three questions about the YoutubeScraper on APIfy as a paying customer

What timezone is the "publishDate" field in? the one that is returned as a Youtube video response.
What is the difference between "uploadDate" and "publishDate"
I want to make sure im getting the timezones right for publishDate, is it fair to always assume its the same timezone, or can it vary based on the set of scraping machines.

API Dojo (apidojo)

Hello,

1- This data is coming directly from Youtube so we don't actually know the timezone. It can be UTC but you need to double check

2- uploadDate and publishDate speak for themselves. One is the upload and the other one is the publish date.

Cheers

Please don't close this issue without checking with me first.

I'd like a way to ensure that the timezone is stable. As the API provider can you double check and provide documentation?

What is likely happening is the timezone is based on the server you are using to scrape so i'd recommend having a system that checks which server is on which timezone and adding that info to your response.

API Dojo (apidojo)

Hello,

It shouldn't be connected to our servers, we are returning you the raw data we get from Youtube. Since our actor is not an API (it is a scraper), unfortunately we don't have any documentation related to the data we get.

Did you have any issues with the timezones? Can you please send us a few example run IDs that you are getting wrong times so our team can check what is going on with them?

Cheers

I am getting valid timestamps, I just want clarification on which timezone it's from. You are scraping youtube, but for example if your scraper is coming from a certain timezone, the date that is being returned is probably from that same timezone. that's a way to figure out which timezone we are getting.

API Dojo (apidojo)

Hello,

It is UTC

Best

Thank you for confirming, closing now.
