Hey @kapa.ai what is the meaning of

format: date-time

in python connectors ? What is the default airbyte data type behind this ?

In Airbyte, the

format: date-time

is used to represent timestamp values. This format is part of the JSON Schema specification and is used to indicate that the string should be interpreted as a date-time value. For Python connectors, when you see

format: date-time

, it means that the field is expected to contain a timestamp. The default Airbyte data type behind this is

string

with the

format

field set to

date-time

. Here is an example from the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/understanding-airbyte/supported-data-types#the-types):

json {   "type": "string",   "format": "date-time" }

This indicates that the field is a string that should be interpreted as a date-time value. Additionally, Airbyte has specific types for timestamps with and without timezones. For example: - Timestamp with timezone:

{ "type": "string", "format": "date-time" }

- Timestamp without timezone:

{ "type": "string", "format": "date-time", "airbyte_type": "timestamp_without_timezone" }

For more details, you can refer to the [Airbyte data types documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/understanding-airbyte/supported-data-types#the-types). If you have any further questions or need more specific examples, feel free to ask!

Does airbyte have a default timezoen it parses state in ?
