# pandas.Timestamp

class pandas.Timestamp(ts_input=<object object>, year=None, month=None, day=None, hour=None, minute=None, second=None, microsecond=None, tzinfo=None, *, nanosecond=None, tz=None, unit=None, fold=None)

  Pandas replacement for python datetime.datetime object.

  Timestamp is the pandas equivalent of python’s Datetime and is interchangeable with it in most cases. It’s the type used for the entries that make up a DatetimeIndex, and other timeseries oriented data structures in pandas.

  Parameters:
    ts_inputdatetime-like, str, int, float

      Value to be converted to Timestamp.

    year, month, dayint
    hour, minute, second, microsecondint, optional, default 0
    tzinfodatetime.tzinfo, optional, default None
    nanosecondint, optional, default 0
    tzstr, pytz.timezone, dateutil.tz.tzfile or None

      Time zone for time which Timestamp will have.

    unitstr

      Unit used for conversion if ts_input is of type int or float. The valid values are ‘D’, ‘h’, ‘m’, ‘s’, ‘ms’, ‘us’, and ‘ns’. For example, ‘s’ means seconds and ‘ms’ means milliseconds.

      For float inputs, the result will be stored in nanoseconds, and the unit attribute will be set as `'ns'`.

    fold{0, 1}, default None, keyword-only

      Due to daylight saving time, one wall clock time can occur twice when shifting from summer to winter time; fold describes whether the datetime-like corresponds to the first (0) or the second time (1) the wall clock hits the ambiguous time.

  Notes

  There are essentially three calling conventions for the constructor. The primary form accepts four parameters. They can be passed by position or keyword.

  The other two forms mimic the parameters from `datetime.datetime`. They can be passed by either position or keyword, but not both mixed together.

  Examples

  Using the primary calling convention:

  This converts a datetime-like string

      >>> pd.Timestamp('2017-01-01T12')
      Timestamp('2017-01-01 12:00:00')

  This converts a float representing a Unix epoch in units of seconds

      >>> pd.Timestamp(1513393355.5, unit='s')
      Timestamp('2017-12-16 03:02:35.500000')

  This converts an int representing a Unix-epoch in units of seconds and for a particular timezone

      >>> pd.Timestamp(1513393355, unit='s', tz='US/Pacific')
      Timestamp('2017-12-15 19:02:35-0800', tz='US/Pacific')

  Using the other two forms that mimic the API for `datetime.datetime`:

      >>> pd.Timestamp(2017, 1, 1, 12)
      Timestamp('2017-01-01 12:00:00')

      >>> pd.Timestamp(year=2017, month=1, day=1, hour=12)
      Timestamp('2017-01-01 12:00:00')
