Issue with using time delta for Time Machine request

[nhcwong]

Describe the issue

I'm trying to make a Time Machine request using a time delta as the time parameter. I'm finding that if I put in a time delta any greater than -100000 , it will instead treat it as a unix time stamp.

For example, when I make the following request:
https://timemachine.pirateweather.net/forecast/[apikey]/-20.0431,146.273,-86400?

I get the expected result of:
"time":1771995000

However, when I try to get data from 6 months ago:
https://timemachine.pirateweather.net/forecast/[apikey]/-20.0431,146.273,-15778476?

I instead get:
"time":-15778500

Can someone explain why this is happening, and if there's a workaround? Thanks.

Hi,

Great catch here, and I think this is a combination of documentation and a date time bug. I'll investigate today and report back!
