Best Practices
- Be mindful of whether your database stores timestamps in seconds (10 digits) or milliseconds (13 digits). The tool auto-detects standard formats, but it's important for your application logic.
- Always store timestamps in UTC (epoch) in your database, and only convert to local timeframes on the client UI.
Pro Tips
Click the 'Now' button to instantly grab the current Unix timestamp for testing API payloads.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some timestamps look like they are in the year 54000?
You likely inputted a timestamp in milliseconds (13 digits) while the tool or backend expected seconds (10 digits). The tool attempts to auto-detect this.
