How Periodic the Data is?

Okay, now we know that the dataset contains about 2 years of data. But how periodic is the data? Do we have daily or less periodic data? Let's find out by inspecting several consecutive values.


              123456789
            
# Loading the library
import pandas as pd

# Reading the data
df = pd.read_csv('https://codefinity-content-media.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/72be5dde-f3e6-4c40-8881-e1d97ae31287/shops_data3.csv')
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date'], dayfirst = True)

# Inspecting the first 5 records of the 'Date' column
print(df['Date'].head())

For the following question, feel free to edit the code above, if needed.
