You have to account for the time zone of the data center when using the API, and have to convert to unix time as well. 

Otherwise you get the day difference depending on if it runs early morning or late evening.

The difference isn't a day, the difference is the dates are being input as american so its a month out. Whats strange is the dates are fine when the day is above 12 but not lower.
