A
ValueError: could not convert string to timestamp
error in Python typically occurs when you try to convert a string to a
datetime
object using the
datetime.strptime
function, and the string you are trying to parse is not in a recognized format.
For example, if you have a string
'2022-12-22'
and you try to parse it using the format
'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
, which specifies a full timestamp with hours, minutes, and seconds, you will get this error because the string does not contain information about hours, minutes, and seconds.
To fix this error, you will need to either change the format string to match the format of the input string, or reformat the input string to match the expected format.
Here is an example of how you can parse a string in the format
'%Y-%m-%d'
using the
datetime.strptime
function:
from datetime import datetime
date_string = '2022-12-22'
date_format = '%Y-%m-%d'
date = datetime.strptime(date_string, date_format)
print(date)
Output:
2022-12-22 00:00:00
You can find a list of all the available format codes in the documentation for the datetime module: docs.python.org/3/library/d…
