|            |        | Each extension object contains the following keys:   |
|            |        | * "version" (string) The version of the extension.   |
+------------+--------+------------------------------------------------------+


6.1.5.3. Timezone
=================

Returns the timezone in which Bugzilla expects to receive dates and
times on the API. Currently hard-coded to UTC (“+0000”). This is
unlikely to change.

**Request**

   GET /rest/timezone

   {
     "timezone": "+0000"
   }

**Response**

+----------+--------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| name     | type   | description                                                     |
|==========|========|=================================================================|
| timezone | string | The timezone offset as a string in (+/-)XXXX (RFC 2822) format. |
+----------+--------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+


6.1.5.4. Time
=============

Gets information about what time the Bugzilla server thinks it is, and
what timezone it’s running in.

**Request**

   GET /rest/time

**Response**

   {
     "web_time_utc": "2014-09-26T18:01:30Z",
     "db_time": "2014-09-26T18:01:30Z",
     "web_time": "2014-09-26T18:01:30Z",
     "tz_offset": "+0000",
     "tz_short_name": "UTC",
     "tz_name": "UTC"
   }

+---------------+--------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| name          | type   | description                                                |
|===============|========|============================================================|
| db_time       | string | The current time in UTC, according to the Bugzilla         |
|               |        | database server.  Note that Bugzilla assumes that the      |
|               |        | database and the webserver are running in the same time    |
|               |        | zone. However, if the web server and the database server   |
|               |        | aren’t synchronized or some reason, *this* is the time     |
|               |        | that you should rely on or doing searches and other input  |
|               |        | to the WebService.                                         |
+---------------+--------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| web_time      | string | This is the current time in UTC, according to Bugzilla’s   |
|               |        | web server.  This might be different by a second from      |
|               |        | "db_time" since this comes from a different source. If     |
|               |        | it’s any more different than a second, then there is       |
|               |        | likely some problem with this Bugzilla instance. In this   |
|               |        | case you should rely  on the "db_time", not the            |
|               |        | "web_time".                                                |
+---------------+--------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| web_time_utc  | string | Identical to "web_time". (Exists only for backwards-       |
|               |        | compatibility with versions of Bugzilla before 3.6.)       |
+---------------+--------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| tz_name       | string | The literal string "UTC". (Exists only for backwards-      |
|               |        | compatibility with versions of Bugzilla before 3.6.)       |
+---------------+--------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| tz_short_name | string | The literal string "UTC". (Exists only for backwards-      |
|               |        | compatibility with versions of Bugzilla before 3.6.)       |
+---------------+--------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| tz_offset     | string | The literal string "+0000". (Exists only for backwards-    |
|               |        | compatibility with versions of Bugzilla before 3.6.)       |
+---------------+--------+------------------------------------------------------------+

A logged-out user can only access the "maintainer" and "requirelogin"
parameters.

A logged-in user can access the following parameters (listed
alphabetically):

* cookiepath

* defaultopsys

* defaultplatform

* defaultpriority

* defaultseverity

A user in the tweakparams group can access all existing parameters.
New parameters can appear or obsolete parameters can disappear
depending on the version of Bugzilla and on extensions being
installed. The list of parameters returned by this method is not
stable and will never be stable.
