Utility Helpers

Disagreement provides a few small utility functions for working with Discord data.

utcnow

Returns the current timezone-aware UTC datetime.

snowflake_time

Converts a Discord snowflake ID into the UTC timestamp when it was generated.

from disagreement.utils import snowflake_time

created_at = snowflake_time(175928847299117063)
print(created_at.isoformat())

The function extracts the timestamp from the snowflake and returns a datetime in UTC.
