Scribe accepts the same country, language, and time-zone formats everywhere a doctor account or a consultation is created. Values are normalized server-side to the canonical form Telepatia stores, so you can send whatever form your own system already has.

​
How values are interpreted

​
Country

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 is the canonical form (CO, BR). For convenience the API also accepts alpha-3 (COL) and the English country name (COLOMBIA); all are normalized to alpha-2. An unrecognized country returns 400.

​
Language

ISO 639-1 two-letter code (es, pt, en). Sets the account’s interface and generated-content language.

​
Time zone

IANA time-zone identifier (America/Bogota, America/Sao_Paulo). Used to localize the timestamps shown to the clinician.

​
Inheritance from the institution

country, language, and timeZone are optional when creating a doctor account. Omit any of them and the new account inherits that value from the institution’s settings. Send a value only to override the institution default for that doctor.

​
Supported values

The complete sets the API accepts. country and language are validated against these lists; timeZone accepts any IANA tz-database identifier.
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (also accepts alpha-3 and the English name):
ISO 639-1 codes:
Any IANA identifier is accepted — the 418 canonical zones:

​
Example

When in doubt, send country as alpha-2 (CO, BR), language as ISO 639-1 (es), and time zone as an IANA name (America/Bogota).
