Hello Folk
im working in research but I have a problem to verify the exact time A Tweet was posted
for example, I live in Portugal, and the time I see in the tweet of the person in Greece is 08:07 AM
this time it appears his Tweet it’s his time zoon or my time zoon as you can see in the picture and thanks a lot
To make sure you’re working with correct timestamps, always make sure you’re working in the UTC timezone, because that’s the value of created_at field in the JSON - this is the posted time of the tweet you should be using, not any timestamp from screenshots or from a client like the app.

thank you very much
But my question about, the time of the tweet is the local time for him or it’s
I’m sorry I don’t well knowledge about the tech
best regards
Oh, it’s the time of the creation of the tweet, not local time. Unfortunately there is no way to know what the current local time was for a person when they posted a tweet - they could have posted that picture from anywhere on earth. You only have the timestamp of the tweet creation time in UTC.
