[Steem / piston] How to get the datetime of a comment / post?

scrawl (59) in programming • 8 years ago

I'm working on a little tool, for that I need to now the date/time when a particular comment was posted.

Can I get this info from a node via websockets/piston? If so how?

I got it:

post = steem.get_content(post_identifier)
created_timestamp = post.created

For some reason, post.created is not available when you get the post from the stream function:

for post in steem.stream_comments():
created = post.created <---- ERROR

I am not sure if that is a missing feature / bug in piston or just a limitation of the stream function.

@xeroc can you comment?
