Supported platforms: twitter (X), discord, instagram, sony, and custom (pass your own epoch). /v1/encode?timestamp=2024-01-01T00:00:00Z&platform=twitter builds the lower-bound snowflake for a time, so you can query 'all IDs created at or after this moment' — the standard trick for time-based pagination on snowflake APIs. Everything is computed locally with BigInt math and no network calls. Ideal for analytics, data forensics, API pagination and debugging. A snowflake-ID toolkit — distinct from UUID/ULID generation (uuid) and date/time math (datetime). No key, no cache.",
