Introduction to dateparser
==========================
Features
========
* Generic parsing of dates in over 200 language locales plus numerous formats in a language agnostic fashion.
* Generic parsing of relative dates like: ``'1 min ago'``, ``'2 weeks ago'``, ``'3 months, 1 week and 1 day ago'``, ``'in 2 days'``, ``'tomorrow'``.
* Generic parsing of dates with time zones abbreviations or UTC offsets like: ``'August 14, 2015 EST'``, ``'July 4, 2013 PST'``, ``'21 July 2013 10:15 pm +0500'``.
* Date lookup in longer texts.
* Support for non-Gregorian calendar systems. See `Supported Calendars`_.
* Extensive test coverage.
Basic Usage
===========
The most straightforward way is to use the `dateparser.parse <#dateparser.parse>`_ function,
that wraps around most of the functionality in the module.

Popular Formats
---------------
>>> import dateparser
>>> dateparser.parse('12/12/12')
datetime.datetime(2012, 12, 12, 0, 0)
>>> dateparser.parse('Fri, 12 Dec 2014 10:55:50')
datetime.datetime(2014, 12, 12, 10, 55, 50)
>>> dateparser.parse('Martes 21 de Octubre de 2014') # Spanish (Tuesday 21 October 2014)
datetime.datetime(2014, 10, 21, 0, 0)
>>> dateparser.parse('Le 11 Décembre 2014 à 09:00') # French (11 December 2014 at 09:00)
datetime.datetime(2014, 12, 11, 9, 0)
>>> dateparser.parse('13 января 2015 г. в 13:34') # Russian (13 January 2015 at 13:34)
datetime.datetime(2015, 1, 13, 13, 34)
>>> dateparser.parse('1 เดือนตุลาคม 2005, 1:00 AM') # Thai (1 October 2005, 1:00 AM)
datetime.datetime(2005, 10, 1, 1, 0)
This will try to parse a date from the given string, attempting to
detect the language each time.
You can specify the language(s), if known, using ``languages`` argument. In this case, given languages are used and language detection is skipped:
>>> dateparser.parse('2015, Ago 15, 1:08 pm', languages=['pt', 'es'])
datetime.datetime(2015, 8, 15, 13, 8)
If you know the possible formats of the dates, you can
use the ``date_formats`` argument:
>>> dateparser.parse('22 Décembre 2010', date_formats=['%d %B %Y'])
datetime.datetime(2010, 12, 22, 0, 0)
Relative Dates
--------------
>>> parse('1 hour ago')
datetime.datetime(2015, 5, 31, 23, 0)
>>> parse('Il ya 2 heures') # French (2 hours ago)
datetime.datetime(2015, 5, 31, 22, 0)
>>> parse('1 anno 2 mesi') # Italian (1 year 2 months)
datetime.datetime(2014, 4, 1, 0, 0)
>>> parse('yaklaşık 23 saat önce') # Turkish (23 hours ago)
datetime.datetime(2015, 5, 31, 1, 0)
>>> parse('Hace una semana') # Spanish (a week ago)
datetime.datetime(2015, 5, 25, 0, 0)
>>> parse('2小时前') # Chinese (2 hours ago)
datetime.datetime(2015, 5, 31, 22, 0)
.. note:: Testing above code might return different values for you depending on your environment's current date and time.
.. note:: For `Finnish` language, please specify ``settings={'SKIP_TOKENS': []}`` to correctly parse relative dates.
OOTB Language Based Date Order Preference
-----------------------------------------
>>> # parsing ambiguous date
>>> parse('02-03-2016') # assumes english language, uses MDY date order
datetime.datetime(2016, 2, 3, 0, 0)
>>> parse('le 02-03-2016') # detects french, uses DMY date order
datetime.datetime(2016, 3, 2, 0, 0)
.. note:: Ordering is not locale based, that's why do not expect `DMY` order for UK/Australia English. You can specify date order in that case as follows using `settings`:
>>> parse('18-12-15 06:00', settings={'DATE_ORDER': 'DMY'})
datetime.datetime(2015, 12, 18, 6, 0)
For more on date order, please look at `settings`.
Timezone and UTC Offset
-----------------------
By default, `dateparser` returns tzaware `datetime` if timezone is present in date string. Otherwise, it returns a naive `datetime` object.
>>> parse('January 12, 2012 10:00 PM EST')
datetime.datetime(2012, 1, 12, 22, 0, tzinfo=<StaticTzInfo 'EST'>)
>>> parse('January 12, 2012 10:00 PM -0500')
datetime.datetime(2012, 1, 12, 22, 0, tzinfo=<StaticTzInfo 'UTC\-05:00'>)
>>> parse('2 hours ago EST')
datetime.datetime(2017, 3, 10, 15, 55, 39, 579667, tzinfo=<StaticTzInfo 'EST'>)
>>> parse('2 hours ago -0500')
datetime.datetime(2017, 3, 10, 15, 59, 30, 193431, tzinfo=<StaticTzInfo 'UTC\-05:00'>)
If date has no timezone name/abbreviation or offset, you can specify it using `TIMEZONE` setting.
>>> parse('January 12, 2012 10:00 PM', settings={'TIMEZONE': 'US/Eastern'})
datetime.datetime(2012, 1, 12, 22, 0)
>>> parse('January 12, 2012 10:00 PM', settings={'TIMEZONE': '+0500'})
datetime.datetime(2012, 1, 12, 22, 0)
``TIMEZONE`` option may not be useful alone as it only attaches given timezone to
resultant ``datetime`` object. But can be useful in cases where you want conversions from and to different
timezones or when simply want a tzaware date with given timezone info attached.
>>> parse('January 12, 2012 10:00 PM', settings={'TIMEZONE': 'US/Eastern', 'RETURN_AS_TIMEZONE_AWARE': True})
datetime.datetime(2012, 1, 12, 22, 0, tzinfo=<DstTzInfo 'US/Eastern' EST-1 day, 19:00:00 STD>)
>>> parse('10:00 am', settings={'TIMEZONE': 'EST', 'TO_TIMEZONE': 'EDT'})
datetime.datetime(2016, 9, 25, 11, 0)
Some more use cases for conversion of timezones.
>>> parse('10:00 am EST', settings={'TO_TIMEZONE': 'EDT'}) # date string has timezone info
datetime.datetime(2017, 3, 12, 11, 0, tzinfo=<StaticTzInfo 'EDT'>)
>>> parse('now EST', settings={'TO_TIMEZONE': 'UTC'}) # relative dates
datetime.datetime(2017, 3, 10, 23, 24, 47, 371823, tzinfo=<StaticTzInfo 'UTC'>)
In case, no timezone is present in date string or defined in `settings`. You can still
return tzaware ``datetime``. It is especially useful in case of relative dates when uncertain
what timezone is relative base.
>>> parse('2 minutes ago', settings={'RETURN_AS_TIMEZONE_AWARE': True})
datetime.datetime(2017, 3, 11, 4, 25, 24, 152670, tzinfo=<DstTzInfo 'Asia/Karachi' PKT+5:00:00 STD>)
In case, you want to compute relative dates in UTC instead of default system's local timezone, you can use `TIMEZONE` setting.
>>> parse('4 minutes ago', settings={'TIMEZONE': 'UTC'})
datetime.datetime(2017, 3, 10, 23, 27, 59, 647248, tzinfo=<StaticTzInfo 'UTC'>)
.. note:: In case, when timezone is present both in string and also specified using `settings`, string is parsed into tzaware representation and then converted to timezone specified in `settings`.
>>> parse('10:40 pm PKT', settings={'TIMEZONE': 'UTC'})
datetime.datetime(2017, 3, 12, 17, 40, tzinfo=<StaticTzInfo 'UTC'>)
>>> parse('20 mins ago EST', settings={'TIMEZONE': 'UTC'})
datetime.datetime(2017, 3, 12, 21, 16, 0, 885091, tzinfo=<StaticTzInfo 'UTC'>)
For more on timezones, please look at `settings`.
Incomplete Dates
----------------
>>> from dateparser import parse
>>> parse('December 2015') # default behavior
datetime.datetime(2015, 12, 16, 0, 0)
>>> parse('December 2015', settings={'PREFER_DAY_OF_MONTH': 'last'})
datetime.datetime(2015, 12, 31, 0, 0)
>>> parse('December 2015', settings={'PREFER_DAY_OF_MONTH': 'first'})
datetime.datetime(2015, 12, 1, 0, 0)
>>> parse('March')
datetime.datetime(2015, 3, 16, 0, 0)
>>> parse('March', settings={'PREFER_DATES_FROM': 'future'})
datetime.datetime(2016, 3, 16, 0, 0)
>>> # parsing with preference set for 'past'
>>> parse('August', settings={'PREFER_DATES_FROM': 'past'})
datetime.datetime(2015, 8, 15, 0, 0)
You can also ignore parsing incomplete dates altogether by setting `STRICT_PARSING` flag as follows:
>>> parse('December 2015', settings={'STRICT_PARSING': True})
None
For more on handling incomplete dates, please look at `settings`.
Search for Dates in Longer Chunks of Text
-----------------------------------------
.. warning:: Support for searching dates is really limited and needs a lot of improvement, we look forward to community's contribution to get better on that part. See "`contributing`".
You can extract dates from longer strings of text. They are returned as list of tuples with text chunk containing the date and parsed datetime object.

Advanced Usage
==============
If you need more control over what is being parser check the `settings` section as well as the `using-datedataparser` section.
Dependencies
============
`dateparser` relies on following libraries in some ways:
* dateutil_'s module ``relativedelta`` for its freshness parser.
* convertdate_ to convert *Jalali* dates to *Gregorian*.
* hijri-converter_ to convert *Hijri* dates to *Gregorian*.
* tzlocal_ to reliably get local timezone.
* ruamel.yaml_ (optional) for operations on language files.
.. _dateutil: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-dateutil
.. _convertdate: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/convertdate
.. _hijri-converter: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hijri-converter
.. _tzlocal: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tzlocal
.. _ruamel.yaml: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ruamel.yaml
Supported languages and locales
===============================
You can check the supported locales by visiting the "`supported-locales`" section.
Supported Calendars
===================
Apart from the Georgian calendar, `dateparser` supports the `Persian Jalali calendar` and the `Hijri/Islami calendar`
To be able to use them you need to install the `calendar` extra by typing:
pip install dateparser[calendars]
* Example using the `Persian Jalali calendar`. For more information, refer to `Persian Jalali Calendar <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_calendars#Zoroastrian_calendar>`_.
>>> from dateparser.calendars.jalali import JalaliCalendar
>>> JalaliCalendar('جمعه سی ام اسفند ۱۳۸۷').get_date()
DateData(date_obj=datetime.datetime(2009, 3, 20, 0, 0), period='day', locale=None)
* Example using the `Hijri/Islamic Calendar`. For more information, refer to `Hijri Calendar <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_calendar>`_.
>>> from dateparser.calendars.hijri import HijriCalendar
>>> HijriCalendar('17-01-1437 هـ 08:30 مساءً').get_date()
DateData(date_obj=datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 30, 20, 30), period='day', locale=None)
.. note:: `HijriCalendar` only works with Python ≥ 3.6.

------------------
Features added during Google Summer of Code 2017:
* Harvesting language data from Unicode CLDR database (https://github.com/unicode-cldr/cldr-json), which includes over 200 locales (#321) - authored by Sarthak Maddan.
See full currently supported locale list in README.
* Extracting dates from longer strings of text (#324) - authored by Elena Zakharova.
Special thanks for their awesome contributions!
New features:

Note that YAML is still used as format for support language files.
* Improved performance through using pre-compiling frequent regexes and lazy loading of data (#293, #294, #295, #315)
* Extended tests (#316, #317, #318, #323)
* Updated nose_parameterized to its current package, parameterized (#381)
