i have a json where the time is located in the field 'createdAt'. 'createdAt': '2020-10-17T02:56:51+0900'
I want to parse the time (which is a string) and convert it into a datetime object, but I'm not why my code isn't picking up on the specified datetime format and is returning all my createdAt times with 0.
for line in data:
try:
date_time_str = line['createdAt']
date_time_obj = datetime.strptime(f'{str(date_time_str)}', "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z")
line['createdAt'] = date_time_obj
except ValueError:
line['createdAt'] = 0
note: not allowed to use dateutil
Why don't you just do this?
from datetime import datetime
data = [
{"title": "First title", "createdAt": "2020-10-19T02:56:51+0000", "text": "Some post content", "author": "ninja"},
{"title": "Second title", "createdAt": "2020-10-19T02:56:51+0000", "text": "Some post content", "author": "ninja"},
{"title": "Third title", "createdAt": "2020-10-19T02:56:51+0000", "text": "Some post content", "author": "ninja"},
]
for item in data:
try:
item['createdAt'] = datetime.strptime(item['createdAt'], "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z")
except ValueError:
item['createdAt'] = ""
print(data)
print(data[0]['createdAt'])
Which gives you:
[{'title': 'First title', 'createdAt': datetime.datetime(2020, 10, 19, 2, 56, 51, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc), 'text': 'Some post content', 'author': 'ninja'}, {'title': 'Second title', 'createdAt': datetime.datetime(2020, 10, 19, 2, 56, 51, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc), 'text': 'Some post content', 'author': 'ninja'}, {'title': 'Third title', 'createdAt': datetime.datetime(2020, 10, 19, 2, 56, 51, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc), 'text': 'Some post content', 'author': 'ninja'}]
2020-10-19 02:56:51+00:00
Fun fact:
No
