GraphQL Timezone Difference

[edwinv]

Hi,

I've started using the Admin GraphQL instead of the Admin Rest API and I am having some trouble getting orders data. In my store, the order's processedAt date is recorded in GMT-5. When querying with the Rest API I can just specify -5:00  (EST) and I can pull the date as it appears on the store. When I use the GraphQL API and specify -5:00 (EST), it pulls the correct orders but the timestamp is set to UTC. Is there a way to set it to EST like how the Rest API and store presents it or would I have to process that separately? 

Thanks in advance!

            orders(first:8, reverse:true, query:"processed_at:2022-06-08T00:00:00-5:00"){
                pageInfo{
                    hasNextPage
                }
                edges {
                    node {
                        processedAt

Hi @edwinv 

It looks like you need to add another set of quotation marks around the inner datetime string. You can see an example with the created_at filter in our search syntax guide, but I would recommend trying something like this:

{
  orders(first:8 reverse:true query:"processed_at:>'2022-06-08T00:00:00-5:00'") {
    nodes {
      id
    }
  }
}

Hi James,

I added another set of quotation marks around the inner datetime string and the results were still in UTC, while my store displays EST (GMT-5).
For the time being I will adjust the time zone after pulling the data.
Thank you for your response!

Hey @edwinv and @JamesG - Did you guys ever come to a solution? I have a shopifyQL query I am posting to the graphQL and wanted to get the table results back in eastern time at a daily granularity. Wanted to see if you guys solved for this already!
