How to overcome “datetime.datetime not JSON serializable”?

Question

I have a basic dict as follows:

sample = {}
sample[\'title\'] = \"String\"
sample[\'somedate\'] = somedatetimehere
         


        

Answer 1

A quick fix if you want your own formatting

for key,val in sample.items():
    if isinstance(val, datetime):
        sample[key] = '{:%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}'.format(val) #you can add different formating here
json.dumps(sample)
