Transaction time

[Marto32]

Is there a way to access transaction time? I only see the following methods on transaction:

['__class__',
 '__delattr__',
 '__dict__',
 '__dir__',
 '__doc__',
 '__eq__',
 '__format__',
 '__ge__',
 '__getattribute__',
 '__gt__',
 '__hash__',
 '__init__',
 '__init_subclass__',
 '__le__',
 '__lt__',
 '__module__',
 '__ne__',
 '__new__',
 '__reduce__',
 '__reduce_ex__',
 '__repr__',
 '__setattr__',
 '__sizeof__',
 '__str__',
 '__subclasshook__',
 '__weakref__',
 '_hash',
 '_locktime',
 '_txid',
 '_version',
 'from_hex',
 'hash',
 'hex',
 'inputs',
 'is_coinbase',
 'is_segwit',
 'locktime',
 'n_inputs',
 'n_outputs',
 'outputs',
 'size',
 'txid',
 'uses_bip69',
 'uses_replace_by_fee',
 'version']

And the following on block:

['__class__',
 '__delattr__',
 '__dict__',
 '__dir__',
 '__doc__',
 '__eq__',
 '__format__',
 '__ge__',
 '__getattribute__',
 '__gt__',
 '__hash__',
 '__init__',
 '__init_subclass__',
 '__le__',
 '__lt__',
 '__module__',
 '__ne__',
 '__new__',
 '__reduce__',
 '__reduce_ex__',
 '__repr__',
 '__setattr__',
 '__sizeof__',
 '__str__',
 '__subclasshook__',
 '__weakref__',
 '_hash',
 '_header',
 '_n_transactions',
 '_transactions',
 'from_hex',
 'hash',
 'header',
 'height',
 'hex',
 'n_transactions',
 'size',
 'transactions']

locktime on transaction appears to be 0 in the first few I've tried to access.

Transactions don't have a time attached to them, only blocks do.

For transactions, block explorers usually display either the time of the block the transaction was confirmed in, or the time they first saw the transaction in the mempool.

@alecalve right but I posted the block methods in my comment as well. Which one of those allows us to obtain the block time?

[alecalve]

It's in the header, it should be block.header.timestamp

Is it possible to get the confirmed block number of a transaction? For example if I use

import os
from blockchain_parser.blockchain import Blockchain
import plyvel

blockchain_path = "~/.bitcoin"  # Update this path to your local Bitcoin blockchain data directory
blockchain = Blockchain(os.path.expanduser(blockchain_path + "/blocks"))

txid = "dfcec48bb8491856c353306ab5febeb7e99e4d783eedf3de98f3ee0812b92bad"

plyvel_db = plyvel.DB(
    os.path.expanduser(blockchain_path + "/indexes/txindex"),
    compression=None,
)

result = blockchain.get_transaction(
    txid, plyvel_db
)

I get a transaction object Transaction(48a387570eeffb07e8e84642efe36bc4088285fc04db91743a9850bfd1611af2). I would like to know the block that it was confirmed at.
