# Date Format

The iVvy API uses a date format to represent dates. The format is a simple text-based format in the following form:

`yyyy-mm-dd`

**Where**

* 'yyyy' is the 4 digit year of the date,
* 'mm' is the two digit month of the date, where January = 01 and December = 12, and
* 'dd' is the two digit day of the month.
