Frequently asked questions
How do I get the current epoch in code?
JavaScript: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000). Python: int(time.time()). PHP: time(). Bash: date +%s. SQL (PostgreSQL): extract(epoch from now()).
Why is my converted date off by several hours?
The timestamp is correct but displayed in a different zone. Check the time-zone menu; logs are usually in UTC while your OS shows local time.
Can epoch values be negative?
Yes – negative values are dates before 1 January 1970. For example, -86400 is 31 December 1969 00:00:00 UTC.
