What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp counts the seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, ignoring leap seconds. Because it’s a single number with no time zone, it’s the standard way to store moments in databases, logs and APIs. JavaScript and many web APIs use milliseconds instead, which gives a 13-digit number.

Questions

How does it tell seconds from milliseconds?

Numbers with 12 or more digits are treated as milliseconds. Second-based timestamps won’t reach 12 digits until the year 33658.

What is the year 2038 problem?

Systems that store timestamps as signed 32-bit integers overflow on 19 January 2038. Modern systems use 64-bit values and are unaffected.

Which time zone is used?

Your device’s time zone for local time, plus UTC for reference.
