Data Formats

Dates and Times​

All dates and times in requests to and from SignalWire API are UTC, and presented in RFC 2822 format.

For example, the date and time of 8:01 AM CDT on July 23rd, 2018 is presented as: Mon, 23 Jul 2018 13:01:00 +0000

Phone Numbers​

All phone numbers in requests to or from the SignalWire API are in E.164 format, an unambiguous general format for specifying international phone numbers. Numbers in this format start with a plus sign ("+") and the country code.

For example, a US-based phone number like (555) 123-4567 would be formatted like: +15551234567.

If a number cannot be represented in E.164 format, then SignalWire uses the raw Caller ID string that was received.

Case Sensitivity​

All REST parameters are case-sensitive. Make sure you use the proper casing, as shown in our API Reference.
