Custom Data Types (2017/01)

4 min

The data types below, which are consistent across all APIs, are used in the BrightSignNetwork.com Main API as are the entities in the child pages beneath this page.

DateTime

Defines a moment in time using a sortable UTC pattern value format, based on rfc3339. An example would be 2022-02-18T16:57:00.123Z

DayOfWeek

Represents the day of the week from Sunday to Saturday. The days are specified as a string list (for example, "Monday, Wednesday, Friday").

Nullable<int>

Data types that are prefixed with "nullable" (for example, nullable) accept null value. Most data types are not nullable in this API framework, so this data type allows you to accept null for a non-nullable type. By default, nullable types are strings, objects, and arrays.

TimeSpan

Represents a period of time. Possible values are:

00:00 - 23:59 (hours and minutes)
00:00:00 - 23:59:59 (hours, minutes, and seconds. This is the default format)
00:00:00.000 - 23:59:59.999 (hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds)
1.00:00:00 - 99999.23:59:59 (date, hours, minutes, seconds)
1.00:00:00.000 - 99999.23:59:59.999 (date, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds)

Uri

A representation of a resource available on the internet or intranet. This data type is nullable.
