Here's how to get the current UTC time and convert to the ISO-8601 format (which is what your example shows). The timezone is hardcoded to Z.

import datetime
datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc).replace(tzinfo=None).isoformat() + 'Z'

  • Use utcnow() instead of now() to get the UTC time.
  • Use the isoformat() method. You'll need to add the trailing "Z" yourself.

In summary:

from datetime import datetime
reg_format_date = datetime.utcnow().isoformat() + "Z"
