Accessing contact creation timestamp

Hi all,

I was wondering if there's a way to access the timestamp that a new contact is added to Civi? I'm assuming such a timestamp exists in some form as you can do an advanced search based on when contacts are added.

What way do you want to access it? In a page? A report? The API?

Well the aim is actually to create a time series of when certain contacts were added. So what we need is somehow to extract the contact creation timestamp for a specific group of contacts. Is there a simple way to do this?

I don't know offhand, but I would suggest you try this in a CiviReport. If that fails, then see if the API can provide it.

If both of those fail, then you can certainly get this information via SQL if necessary.
