I wanted to fetch the timezone of hubspot users with this api:

[https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/users/:userid?archived=false&properties=hs\_given\_name,hs\_internal\_user\_id,hs\_timezone,hs\_standard\_time\_zone](https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/users/:userid?archived=false&properties=hs_given_name,hs_internal_user_id,hs_timezone,hs_standard_time_zone)

but getting null in the response. “hs\_standard\_time\_zone”: null.  
Please help me.

Hey, @VMourya 👋 The property you mention is set in-app under Settings \> Users \> A\_SPECIFIC\_USER \> Edit working hours. If the checkbox for “Update time zone based on device location” this will be “null”.

I set up a quick test:

My User (checkbox enabled)

- Timezone specified

- Request using Postman

If you want to set this value programmatically when creating new Users, you can get all the values for this property from the Properties API

```lia-code-sample
curl --request GET \
 --url 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/users/hs_standard_time_zone?archived=false' \
 --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

```

Have fun building! — Jaycee
