from datetime import datetime, timezone
print(datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat(timespec='seconds') + 'Z')💡 Tips
- The "Z" stands for Zulu time (UTC)
- The "T" separates date from time
- Most robust format for data exchange
⚠️ Common Pitfalls
- Don't omit the "T" or "Z" in standard APIs
- Some parsers require exactly 3 millisecond digits
