Clarification Regarding CreateTime Field
Closed
I ran the TikTok Data Extractor on an account that had just posted a video, and I noticed that the createTime field exactly matches my local timezone. I’m trying to understand why this is happening.
Is the createTime returned in UTC and then automatically converted to my local timezone—either by Apify or the scraper detecting my timezone? Or is it possible that the timestamp reflects the account’s timezone instead?
Ultimately, I want to confirm whether the createTime value is consistent and reliable across different accounts, so I can always accurately determine when a video was posted, regardless of the timezone or location of the account being scraped

Hi, thanks for asking!
I believe you refer to "create time" in the beautified table output - this one will convert timestamps to your local timezone.
You can still access raw scraper data, e.g. by switching to the "JSON" view. There you will see createTimeISO - an ISO date, with a timezone portion at the end (that timezone should be UTC)
Let me know if you'd like to clarify something more by reopening this issue
