Importer for Greenbutton data, an initiative by US gov

Here are the details of it, Greebutton

I want to import this data provided by green_button. You can find the sample data files here

It gives out data in two formats, viz. CSV and XML. So, my question is the data provided are in which timezone? Are the data in UTC timezone ?..then i do not need any sort of conversion. But, if it is in local timezone then i need to convert it to UTC. Because, my importer only accepts UTC timezone's data.

If anyone know any sort of details about this Green button initiative then please revert back.

Any sort of help is appreciated.

Thanks & regards, Aashish P.

  • According to the XMI the XML time data is in ISO 8601 format - in the sample XML it seems to be UTC.
