API payloads and webhooks
Turn created_at, updated_at, expires_at, iat, nbf and exp fields into readable moments while tracing REST, GraphQL, JWT and webhook data.
Timestamp2 knowledge base
A practical tour of epoch units, portable date formats, time-zone behavior and everyday developer workflows.
Turn created_at, updated_at, expires_at, iat, nbf and exp fields into readable moments while tracing REST, GraphQL, JWT and webhook data.
Make sense of server logs, app events, audit records, telemetry, analytics and monitoring alerts without leaving the browser.
Verify epoch columns from PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, SQL Server, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redis and document stores.
Cross-check values emitted by JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, PHP, Go, Ruby, Rust, C#, C++, Kotlin and Swift.
Decode shell output, file times, cron runs, containers, CI/CD jobs, infrastructure events and cloud automation records.
Standardize dates for CSV exports, Excel, Google Sheets, ETL pipelines, warehouses, reports and analytics dashboards.
Inspect token expiry, session duration, signed requests, access logs and any authorization rule that depends on time.
Translate block times, transactions, queue messages, distributed events and stream records into human-friendly dates.
| Format | Example | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Unix seconds | 1704067200 | The familiar 10-digit scale used across Unix, Linux, APIs and databases. |
| Unix milliseconds | 1704067200000 | The 13-digit precision common in JavaScript, Java and event pipelines. |
| ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 | 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z | A portable text date for JSON, APIs, logs and system-to-system exchange. |
| Local date and time | 2024-01-01 02:00:00 | A wall-clock reading interpreted using the time zone you choose. |
| UTC, GMT and IANA zones | UTC · GMT+2 · Europe/Sofia | Fixed offsets plus location-aware time-zone and daylight-saving rules. |
People describe epoch conversion in many ways. Timestamp2 covers these common date, Unix time and developer-tool searches from one screen.
