meetup api DATE error

Question

I got a problem with the v3 of api meetup.com

Trying to request the api:

GET https://api.meetup.com/find/upcoming_events?sign=true&key=VALID-API-KEY&lon=32.97&page=1000&lat=4.95&page=20&offset=0&end_date_range=2018-07-19424:00:00

Expected behavior:

HTTP/1.1 400 error
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": "end_time_range_error",
      "message": "end_time_range is not a valid time",
      "field": "end_time_range"
    }
  ]
}

Actual behavior:

HTTP/1.1 200 success
{
  [...]
}

From the docs:

end_date_range: Return events that start before this date. The date must follow this format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.

https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/meetup_api/docs/find/upcoming_events/?uri=%2Fmeetup_api%2Fdocs%2Ffind%2Fupcoming_events%2F

So it is all about:

from the docs: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS
from my request: 2018-07-19424:00:00

Any hints?

Hopefully, it's not too late for an answer to this question. If so, maybe this would be helpful for somebody else. The correct format for this one is 2018-07-19T16:00:00
