About the Unix Timestamp Converter API

Unix Timestamp Converter works by converting Unix epoch timestamps to formatted dates or parsing date strings into Unix timestamps. Returns comprehensive date information including year, month, day, time components, and multiple standard formats.

What people use it for

API Development: Convert timestamps from databases and APIs to human-readable dates for display in applications
Log Analysis: Parse timestamps in log files and system events for debugging and monitoring
Data Migration: Convert date formats between different systems and databases during data transfer
Time Synchronization: Standardize time representations across distributed systems using epoch timestamps

Ways to call it

One endpoint, many ways in — REST with JSON, XML, YAML and CSV, plus GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents.

JSON: Default REST response
XML: Markup format
YAML: Human-readable
CSV: Tabular export
GraphQL: Query language
MCP: For AI agents

Common questions about the Unix Timestamp Converter API.

Read the docs →

What does the Unix Timestamp Converter API do?

Unix Timestamp Converter is a tool for converting between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates. It supports both seconds and milliseconds formats.

How do I authenticate Unix Timestamp Converter API requests?

Pass your API key in the x-api-key header over HTTPS. One key works across all 300+ APIVerve APIs — there are no per-endpoint credentials.

How much does the Unix Timestamp Converter API cost?

Each call spends 2 credits from your shared pool. The free tier includes 200 credits every month, and paid plans add more headroom.

How fast is the Unix Timestamp Converter API?

Response time depends on the endpoint — the p50 through p99 latency for this API is published on this page. Requests are served over HTTPS through a global edge network.

What response formats does the Unix Timestamp Converter API support?

JSON by default, plus XML and YAML via the format parameter. GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents are available across the catalog.

What HTTP method does the Unix Timestamp Converter API use?

GET over HTTPS, following standard REST conventions with a consistent { status, error, data } response envelope.

Request parameters — GET /v1/unixtimestamp

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.

Required

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`timestamp`Required	string	`1609459200`	Unix timestamp to convert timestamp

Optional

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`format`Optional	string	`seconds`	Timestamp format `secondsmillisecondssms` default seconds

Example request

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/unixtimestamp?timestamp=1609459200&format=seconds" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Header	When	Value
`x-api-key`Required	Every request	Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so `X-API-Key` is the same header.
`Authorization`Alternate	Instead of the above	`Bearer <key>` — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing.

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Response — GET /v1/unixtimestamp

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Sample response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "timestamp": 1609459200,
    "timestamp_format": "seconds",
    "iso_8601": "2021-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "rfc_2822": "Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT",
    "date": "1/1/2021",
    "time": "12:00:00 AM",
    "unix_seconds": 1609459200,
    "unix_milliseconds": 1609459200000,
    "year": 2021,
    "month": 1,
    "day": 1,
    "hour": 0,
    "minute": 0,
    "second": 0,
    "day_of_week": "Friday",
    "timezone": "UTC"
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`timestamp`	number	`1609459200`	Unix timestamp in requested format
`timestamp_format`	string	`"seconds"`	Format of the timestamp value returned
`iso_8601`	string	`"2021-01-01T00:00:00Z"`	Date formatted in ISO 8601 standard
`rfc_2822`	string	`"Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT"`	Date formatted in RFC 2822 standard
`date`	string	`"1/1/2021"`	Date in simple M/D/YYYY format
`time`	string	`"12:00:00 AM"`	Time in HH:MM:SS AM/PM format
`unix_seconds`	number	`1609459200`	Unix timestamp in seconds
`unix_milliseconds`Premium	number	`1609459200000`	Unix timestamp in milliseconds
`year`	number	`2021`	Year component extracted from timestamp
`month`	number	`1`	Month component from 1 to 12
`day`	number	`1`	Day of month component
`hour`	number	`0`	Hour component in 24-hour format
`minute`	number	`0`	Minute component of the time
`second`	number	`0`	Second component of the time
`day_of_week`Premium	string	`"Friday"`	Full name of the day of week
`timezone`	string	`"UTC"`	Timezone of the returned date

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Header	What it carries
`x-api-remaining-credits`	Credits left in the current cycle
`x-api-credits-used`	Credits spent in the current cycle
`x-api-max-credits`	The allowance for the cycle
`x-api-version`	Version of the endpoint that answered

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter that has to change.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted here	A key restriction or an IP allow-list — never a bad key.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart, then back off or top up.

What a call costs — 2 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Plan	Per month	Credits	Unix Timestamp Converter calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	100	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	100,000	$0.30
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	500,000	$0.20
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	2,000,000	$0.15

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.
