| 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. | ||
