# types-dateparser — Typing stubs for dateparser

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 2.0M/mo

## What it is and what it does

types-dateparser is a type stub package that adds static type information to the dateparser library. It is part of the typeshed project and allows type checkers—mypy, pyright, pyrefly, and ty—to understand and validate code that calls dateparser functions. The stubs are generated from typeshed and aim to provide accurate annotations for dateparser version 1.4.2.

You install this package alongside dateparser in your development environment so that your type checker can verify that you are calling dateparser functions correctly. It has no runtime dependencies and adds no overhead to your application; it is purely a development tool for catching type errors before runtime.

Use it for:

- Enable mypy or pyright to catch type errors when calling dateparser functions in your codebase.
- Provide IDE autocomplete and type hints for dateparser APIs in editors that support type stubs.
- Ensure type safety in projects that parse dates with dateparser and use strict type checking.
- Validate that dateparser function arguments and return values match expected types in CI/CD pipelines.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides type stubs for the dateparser package, enabling static type checkers like mypy, pyright, and others to validate code that uses dateparser for date parsing.

Yes, if you use dateparser and run static type checking. Install it alongside dateparser in your development dependencies (or in a type-checking environment) to get accurate type information. It has no runtime cost and is actively maintained as part of typeshed. If you do not use a type checker, there is no reason to install it.

## Install

pip install types-dateparser
uv add types-dateparser
poetry add types-dateparser

## Installing types-dateparser

Before you install: Low install friction; a pure stub package with no runtime dependencies. Actively maintained as part of typeshed, with a release just 1 day old.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), allowing use in most projects without significant legal constraints.

Quickstart:

pip install types-dateparser

# Then use dateparser in your code; type checkers will now understand its types:
import dateparser
result = dateparser.parse('2026-08-14')

Requires Python 3.10 or later.

Verify before relying:

- Whether these stubs are kept in sync with dateparser releases beyond 1.4.2.
- Whether all dateparser APIs are fully annotated or if some remain untyped.
