Does Facebook Messenger provides the timezone on the subscribed webhook?

Question

I am creating a Chatbot where i would to like to show timing details in local timezone. Does Facebook Messenger provides the timezone on the subscribed webhook?

Answer 1

As you can see in the received message, the timezone isn't specified:

{
  ...
  "timestamp":1458692752478,
  ...
}

But you can get the timezone of the user using the user profile:

{
  ...
  "timezone": -7,
  ...
}

With that information, you get the real date depending on the user timezone.
