    service.system_time provides the timestamp from unix epoch, using that you can calculate the test date.

    https://app.cloudquant.com/application/#/glossary/151 has more information on the built in function that will convert the timestamp to your requested format. Also,

    todays_date = service.time_to_string(service.system_time, '%Y-%m-%d')
