Python: Get current right date even if the machine's date is wrong

Question

How can I get the right date of today from any free cloud even if I have set a wrong date in my machine?

### after changing date from 15th March to 4th March
import datetime
datetime.datetime.today()

datetime.datetime(2021, 3, 4, 10, 19, 45, 110118)

What do you mean by "*from any free cloud*"? Are you looking for something like [this](https://stackoverflow.com/q/66506603/10197418)? — FObersteiner, Mar 15 '21 at 08:22
You could do an api call with requests you could use this [API](http://worldtimeapi.org/) — Axisnix, Mar 15 '21 at 08:23

Use a ntp library to query time.windows.com or some other ntp server.
