Timestamp

This documentation provides details about the data that can be faked for a timestamp.

To retrieve generated/fake data for a timestamp see the following capabilities:

from socfaker import SocFaker

sc = SocFaker()

print(sc.timestamp.in_the_past())
print(sc.timestamp.in_the_future())
print(sc.timestamp.current)
print(sc.timestamp.date_string())

Timestamp Class

class socfaker.timestamp.Timestamp

The Timestamp Class provides methods to generate timestamps

current

The current timestamp

Returns:

str: Returns the current timestamp in ISO 8601 format

date_string(years=60, months=9, days=216)

Returns a date string

Args:

years ([type], optional): The number of years subtracted from the current time. Defaults to random.randint(18,85). months ([type], optional): The number of months subtracted from the current time. Defaults to random.randint(1,12). days ([type], optional): The number of days subtracted from the current time. Defaults to random.randint(1,365).

Returns:

str: An date string for the generated timestamp

in_the_future(years=0, months=0, days=12, hours=9, minutes=46, seconds=46)

Generates a timestamp in the future

Args:

years (int, optional): The number of years to add from the current time. Defaults to 0. months ([type], optional): The number of months to add from the current time. Defaults to random.randint(0,3). days ([type], optional): The number of days to add from the current time. Defaults to random.randint(1,15). hours ([type], optional): The number of hours to add from the current time. Defaults to random.randint(1,24). minutes ([type], optional): The number of minutes to add from the current time. Defaults to random.randint(1,60). seconds ([type], optional): The number of seconds to add from the current time. Defaults to random.randint(1,60).

Returns:

str: Returns an ISO 8601 timestamp string

in_the_past(years=0, months=3, days=13, hours=18, minutes=47, seconds=53)

Generates a timestamp in the past

Args:

years (int, optional): The number of years to subtract from the current time. Defaults to 0. months ([type], optional): The number of months to subtract from the current time.
