# pandas.PeriodIndex.freqstr

property PeriodIndex.freqstr

  Return the frequency object as a string if it’s set, otherwise None.

  Examples

  For DatetimeIndex:

      >>> idx = pd.DatetimeIndex(["1/1/2020 10:00:00+00:00"], freq="D")
      >>> idx.freqstr
      'D'

  The frequency can be inferred if there are more than 2 points:

      >>> idx = pd.DatetimeIndex(["2018-01-01", "2018-01-03", "2018-01-05"],
      ...                        freq="infer")
      >>> idx.freqstr
      '2D'

  For PeriodIndex:

      >>> idx = pd.PeriodIndex(["2023-1", "2023-2", "2023-3"], freq="M")
      >>> idx.freqstr
      'M'
