Timezone Wrong from Traccar API
API returns you server time zone. If time is not correct it means that either device sends wrong time or something is misconfigured.
Humm... It's so strange, see the register please:
The small diference is the time that it takes to get each information.
Server Data (Ubuntu)

MySQL data
# id, name, uniqueid, lastupdate, positionid, groupid, attributes, phone, model, contact, category, disabled
'21', 'Celular Wilson', '213489', '2018-05-15 17:14:44', '3474728', '10', '{\"speedLimit\":50}', '', '', '', 'person', '0'
API result
{"id":21,"attributes":{"speedLimit":50},"groupId":10,"name":"Celular Wilson","uniqueId":"213489","status":"online","lastUpdate":"2018-05-15T20:14:43.652+0000","positionId":3474728,"geofenceIds":[6,8],"phone":"","model":"","contact":"","category":"person","disabled":false}
Well, everything is correct. BRT is 3 hours behind UTC.
Ok, in that case should I handle the timezone on the client that is calling the api, doing the conversion?
You don't need to do any conversion. Traccar sends correct ISO time with timezone.
Desculpe, não entendi. Na web exibe o horário certo, no app também, somente a API exibe o horário + 3:00 e isso é correto? Eu quero obter 17:00, a API me retorna 20:00, se eu não converter exibirá 20:00 em minha aplicação, pois é o que está vindo da API. Desculpe minha ignorância por favor.
Sorry, I do not understand. On the web it displays the right time, in the app too, only the API displays the time + 3:00 and this is correct? I want to get 17:00, the API returns me 20:00, if I do not convert it will show 20:00 on my application, because that's what's coming from the API. Sorry for my ignorance, please.
Traccar API returns full ISO date format with timezone offset:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
Any modern programming language can handle it without need for any conversion.
Now it's turned clear. Thanks!
Hi, I have started to use the Traccar API and I have seen that de timezone from that is wrong. The date is correct in the database (MySQL) and in the site too, but when I call the API it is showing a (+3:00) timezone. How can I fix this problem?
Thanks!
