Common integration patterns:
JavaScript Date Conversion:
// Convert Unix timestamp to Date
const timestamp = 1705276800;
const date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
console.log(date.toISOString());
// Output: "2024-01-15T00:00:00.000Z"
const timestamp = 1705276800;
const date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
console.log(date.toISOString());
// Output: "2024-01-15T00:00:00.000Z"
Python Timestamp Conversion:
import datetime
# Convert Unix timestamp
timestamp = 1705276800
dt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp)
print(dt.isoformat())
# Output: "2024-01-15T00:00:00"
# Convert Unix timestamp
timestamp = 1705276800
dt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp)
print(dt.isoformat())
# Output: "2024-01-15T00:00:00"

โ ๏ธ YEAR 2038 PROBLEM
- 32-bit systems overflow on Jan 19, 2038
- Timestamp 2147483647 is the limit
- Affects older systems and databases
- Use 64-bit timestamps for future-proofing

Common questions and solutions
โ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is a Unix timestamp?
A: Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT). It's a standard way to represent time in computing.
Q: What's the difference between seconds and milliseconds?
A: Unix timestamps use seconds (10 digits). JavaScript timestamps use milliseconds (13 digits). Multiply by 1000 to convert Unix to JS, divide by 1000 for JS to Unix.
Q: What is the Year 2038 problem?
A: On January 19, 2038, 32-bit Unix timestamps will overflow. The maximum value is 2147483647. After this, timestamps will wrap around to 1901. Use 64-bit systems to avoid this issue.
