Firebase Firestore Server Timestamp with firebase-admin python sdk

Question

There is a way to add server timestamps in firebase-admin python sdk? I try:

firestore.SERVER_TIMESTAMP
firestore.constants.SERVER_TIMESTAMP


        

Answer 1

firestore.SERVER_TIMESTAMP worked for me. Here's the full example:

import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import firestore

# I have GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS configured.
firebase_admin.initialize_app()
client = firestore.client()
result = client.collection('test').document('foo').set({
    'mytime':firestore.SERVER_TIMESTAMP
})
print(result)

This printed out:

update_time {
  seconds: 1523491166
  nanos: 932097000
}

And the value was stored in database as expected.
