126Snowflake IDs
127~~~~~~~~~~~~~
128Some IDs in Mastodon (such as those for statuses) are Snowflake IDs. These broadly
129correspond to times, with a low resolution, so it is possible to convert a time to
130a Snowflake ID and search for posts between two dates. Mastodon.py will do the
131conversion for you automatically when you pass a `datetime` object as the id.

133Note that this functionality will *not* work on anything but Mastodon and forks,
134and that it is somewhat inexact due to the relatively low resolution.
