# Get Current Datetime

The **Get Current DateTime** node retrieves the current date and time from the system as a **DateTime** object. This node is ideal for applications that require precise timestamps or need to perform operations on date and time values, such as calculations, comparisons, or formatting.

**Outputs**

* **DateTime (C# DateTime Object)** : The current date and time, returned as a native **DateTime** object. This allows for flexible manipulation and integration with other nodes.
