126 | Snowflake IDs | ||
127 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
128 | Some IDs in Mastodon (such as those for statuses) are Snowflake IDs. These broadly | ||
129 | correspond to times, with a low resolution, so it is possible to convert a time to | ||
130 | a Snowflake ID and search for posts between two dates. Mastodon.py will do the | ||
131 | conversion for you automatically when you pass a `datetime` object as the id. | ||
132 | |||
133 | Note that this functionality will *not* work on anything but Mastodon and forks, | ||
134 | and that it is somewhat inexact due to the relatively low resolution. | ||
