Module:TwitterSnowflake/doc

This is a Lua module to translate snowflakes from platforms such as Twitter and Discord to timestamps. This can be used for automatically generating dates for templates like {{cite tweet}}.

Usage

There is one required parameter: |id_str=, which must be the snowflake ID of the tweet. For example, 1345021162959503360.

{{#invoke:TwitterSnowflake|snowflakeToDate|id_str=1345021162959503360}} returns January 1, 2021.

To specify the date format, use |format=.

{{#invoke:TwitterSnowflake|snowflakeToDate|id_str=1345021162959503360|format=%e %B %Y}} returns 1 January 2021 — useful to specify, especially for use in CS1 citations, in case the default date format would change in the future (though unlikely).

Custom epoch

By default, the epoch used is that of Twitter. To specify a different epoch, such as that of Twitter, use |epoch=. The epoch of Discord is 1420070400

{{#invoke:TwitterSnowflake|snowflakeToDate|id_str=797545051047460888|epoch=1420070400}} returns January 9, 2021.
