Values in date URL

[DrSavage]

Hi
First time here and newbie learning Python, so hope you can help me ?

This is the amended url, which works internally only and will return 5 seconds of data

http://monitoring/dashboards/php/feed/liveviewership.php?graphdata=true&startday=20180415%2007:00&endday=20180415%2007:05

How can I ask the user for the startday and endday values, check its correct date and time format and use the user date/time for checking the data ?

From the data returned I have to put it into fields to look for the min and max and amount of data.

Any help or advice would be very gratefully received

Thanks

Ive had no help or suggestions on this.

Just to be clear I Was looking how I ask a user for the start date put it in startday=20180415%2007:00, checking it is a valid date and the same for endday=20180415%2007:05.

So the url might look like

http://monitoring/dashboards/php/feed/liveviewership.php?graphdata=true&startday=cust_startdate&endday=cust_enddate

I can do the rest.

Thanks

>>> startday = '20180415%2007:00'
>>> endday = '20180415%2007:05'
>>> print(f'http://monitoring/dashboards/php/feed/liveviewership.php?graphdata=true&{startday}=cust_startdate&{endday}=cust_enddate')
http://monitoring/dashboards/php/feed/liveviewership.php?graphdata=true&20180415%2007:00=cust_startdate&20180415%2007:05=cust_enddate

>>> # Not using 3.6,use format()
>>> print('http://monitoring/dashboards/php/feed/liveviewership.php?graphdata=true&{}=cust_startdate&{}=cust_enddate'.format(startday, endday))
http://monitoring/dashboards/php/feed/liveviewership.php?graphdata=true&20180415%2007:00=cust_startdate&20180415%2007:05=cust_enddate
