# pandas.Timestamp.to_numpy

Timestamp.to_numpy(dtype=None, copy=False)

  Convert the Timestamp to a NumPy datetime64.

  This is an alias method for Timestamp.to_datetime64(). The dtype and copy parameters are available here only for compatibility. Their values will not affect the return value.

  Parameters:
    dtype dtype, optional

      Data type of the output, ignored in this method as the return type is always numpy.datetime64.

    copy bool, default False

      Whether to ensure that the returned value is a new object. This parameter is also ignored as the method does not support copying.

  Returns:
    numpy.datetime64

  Examples

      >>> ts = pd.Timestamp('2020-03-14T15:32:52.192548651')
      >>> ts.to_numpy()
      numpy.datetime64('2020-03-14T15:32:52.192548651')

  Analogous for `pd.NaT`:

      >>> pd.NaT.to_numpy()
      numpy.datetime64('NaT')
