patches.json

This file contains the start and end timestamps for each patch, back to preseason 3.

The patches are contained in a list accessible through the patches key. Each patch has start and end times (as ints), a name (str), and a season ID (int). In additional, the regional offsets are provided (in seconds) for each platform and are accessible via the key shifts.

All timestamps are in UTC time.

Below is an example of loading the start time for the most recent patch in Python:

import arrow, json

with open('patches.json') as f:
    data = json.load(f)

patch = data['patches'][-1]  # most recent
utc_timestamp = patch['start']
north_america_timestamp = utc_timestamp + data['shifts']['NA1']
dt = arrow.get(north_america_timestamp)
print(dt.to('US/Pacific'))  # 2018-01-24T03:00:00-08:00  (for patch 8.2)
# which corresponds to 3am on January 24th, 2018 in Pacific Time.
