Hi Developers,

I am trying to convert a specific date into epoch seconds in AA. However, that option is not available in the Datetime Action. Is there any alternate or shortcut way we can achieve this?

Hi @shibashis001 

 

The date will be in this format : 13 Feb 2023 14:05:16

And the output should be like this in epoch seconds conversion : 1676297116

Use the below JavaScript to get the epoch time. You need to replace the below date with your required date.

 

function ConvertToEpoch()
{
return Math.floor(new Date('12/2/2022').getTime()/1000.0)
}

Hi @Kayal 2500

There is no Inhouse package as of now, same can be achieved using any scripting languages like python or c#. Checkout below code in python

import time

date_str = "13 Feb 2023 14:05:16"
pattern = "%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S"
epoch_time = int(time.mktime(time.strptime(date_str, pattern)))
print(epoch_time)

An approach additional to above is using an online converter like :
