Category: Chain

Parameters

This read takes no parameters.

CLI

btcli query timestamp --json

Python

Namespace method (autocomplete, signature help):

import bittensor as bt

sub = bt.Subtensor()
result = sub.chain.timestamp()

Or dispatch by name, as an agent would:

result = sub.read("timestamp")

Async is the same surface awaited: async with bt.Subtensor() as client:.
