Basic types

Duration

A duration type represents a length of time with millisecond precision. Duration literals contain integers and unit specifiers, with support for the following unit specifiers:

ms millisecond
s second
m minute
h hour
d day
w week
mo calendar month
y calendar year

Examples

"1ms" // 1 millisecond
"1s"  // 1 second
"1m"  // 1 minute
"1h"  // 1 hour
"1d"  // 1 day
"1w"  // 1 week
"1mo" // 1 calendar month
"1y"  // 1 calendar year

"3d12h4m25s" // 3 days, 12 hours, 4 minutes, and 25 seconds
"-1d" // past 1 day

ISO 8601

A ISO 8601 type represents a date and time format string that complies with ISO 8601. ISO 8601 is a string in the format yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss'.'fff'Z' with millisecond precision.

Examples

"2020-01-01T00:00:00Z"     // Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00.000 GMT
"2020-01-01T00:00:00.100Z" // Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00.100 GMT

Location

Location is a geographic coordinate that specifies the position of a point on the surface of the Earth. Latitude, longitude and altitude are defined on the reference ellipsoid World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84).

type	object
properties
lat	Latitude
	type	number
lon	Longitude
	type	number
alt	Altitude
	type	number
pdop	Position (3D) dilution of precision
	type	number
hdop	Horizontal dilution of precision
	type	number
vdop	Vertical dilution of precision
	type	number
sats	Number of satellites in use
	type	number

Notes

Positive latitudes are in the Northern hemisphere, and negative ones are in the Southern hemisphere.
Positive longitudes are east of the prime meridian, and negative ones are west.

Examples

{
        "lat": 53.2049943,
        "lon": 5.983111
}

Unix time

Unix time is defined as the number of non-leap seconds which have passed since 00:00:00 UTC on Thursday, 1 January 1970, which is referred to as the Unix epoch. Unix time is a decimal number that represents seconds with millisecond precision. Request Unix time may also be an integer number that represents milliseconds.

Examples

1577836800    // Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00.000 GMT
1577836800.1  // Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00.100 GMT
1577836800100 // Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00.100 GMT

UUID

A UUID type represents a universally unique identifier. A UUID is a 128-bit integer (16 bytes) that can be used across all computers and networks wherever a unique identifier is required. Such an identifier has a very low probability of being duplicated.

Examples

"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
