Get historical time data

[J. Javier Gálvez]

Hi, Backtraders!

I want to get n bars back the current day as a pandas dataframe. Reading various topics in this forum I was able to do it for OHLCV data, but not for DateTime.

I'm using self.data.datetime.get(size=self.n_bars, ago=0) but I got just an array of float numbers instead of an array of datetimes.
I thought the float number could be transformed to datetime with datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp) but the result was a very different time of what was supposed to be.

So, I ask for help to know what that float number mean or more concretely how to get the last n bars of the datetime column.

Thanks in advance.

Because there are no datetime objects used inside the library.

Thank you very much @backtrader. I didn't notice that thread. The solution works like a charm.
