To get the current time, pass the special word `"now"` (or `"today"`) to `date`:
<p class="code-label">Input</p>
```liquid
{% raw %}
This page was last updated at {{ "now" | date: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" }}.
{% endraw %}
```
<p class="code-label">Output</p>
```text
This page was last updated at {{ "now" | date: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" }}.
```
Note that the value will be the current time of when the page was last generated from the template, not when the page is presented to a user if caching or static site generation is involved.
