Facebook post/comment timestamp

Closed

This is NOT an issue. I have noticed that there is no proper documentation for this actor, but that some documentation comes out from actual issues. So I thought to add this issue as a way to documenting one of the fields in the data scraped, for those not familiar with the actual Facebook Graph API.

The actor returns also the created_time field of posts, comments, etc. This timestamp is expressed as UNIX timestamp (as per FB Graph API documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/post/).

A UNIX timestamp (also known as POSIX time or epoch time) is a system for tracking time as the number of seconds that have elapsed since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC), not counting leap seconds. This means that a UNIX timestamp is simply an integer (or sometimes a floating-point number if you include fractional seconds) that represents a point in time relative to that starting date.

UNIX timestamp can be converted to actual date and time quite simply:

import datetime

# Example UNIX timestamp (seconds since epoch)
unix_timestamp = 1672531199

# Convert timestamp to datetime object (in UTC)
dt_utc = datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(unix_timestamp)
print("UTC time:", dt_utc)

# For local time, you can use fromtimestamp
dt_local = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(unix_timestamp)
print("Local time:", dt_local)
