The v1 Twitter API returns created_at dates in the following format:
Mon Dec 28 11:32:24 +0000 2020
How can I parse this to a C# DateTime? I'm thinking I need to use the ParseExact method but I'm unsure what the format string should be and how I go about figuring it out
Can anyone help?
If you want to parse a DateTime like this with ParseExact the format string should look like the following:
System.DateTime.ParseExact("Mon Dec 28 11:32:24 +0000 2020", "ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy", null);
ddd - Abbreviated name of the Day
MMM - Abbreviated name of the Month
dd - Day of the month as number 01-31
h - hour as 12 hour clock
H - 24 hour clock
HH - 24 hour clock with leading zero
mm - minutes
ss - seconds
zzz - With DateTime values represents the signed offset of the local operating system's time zone from UTC, measured in hours and minutes.
yyyy - year
