The interface possibly does not implement what I call a UTC second. A UTC second would be longer than a TAI second on those days where a (TAI) leap second is inserted. While TAI seconds roughly measure the flow of proper time (of the Earth geoid reference frame), what I call a UTC second would roughly measure the time it takes for the Earth to rotate. If no such thing as a UTC second is implemented, my idea can´t work. But why don't you simply advance the day field by one? Or is this not possible with the API?
