`faker.providers.date_time`¶

class faker.providers.date_time.Provider(generator: Any)¶

Bases: BaseProvider

Most methods of the provider accept a ‘start_datetime’ and/or ‘end_datetime’ parameter.

These parameters accept a variety of types, and are used to define the range of the random date/time.

We call this type DateParseType.

A DateParseType can be:

a datetime or date object
an integer or a float, representing UNIX a timestamp
the special string ‘now’
the special string ‘today’
a timedelta object, representing a time delta from now
a ‘timedelta string’, such as ‘+2d’, ‘-3w’, ‘+4y’, etc. Representing a time delta from now.

Examples:

>>> Faker.seed(0)
>>> for _ in range(5):
...     fake.am_pm()

century() → str¶

Examples:

>>> Faker.seed(0)
