# Convert epoch 1680000000 to UTC datetime
dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(1680000000, tz=timezone.utc)
print(dt)  # 2023-03-28T10:40:00+00:00

# Format as human-readable string
print(dt.strftime("%A, %B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S UTC"))

JavaScript

// Convert epoch 1680000000 to Date
const date = new Date(1680000000 * 1000);
console.log(date.toISOString());  // 2023-03-28T10:40:00Z
console.log(date.toUTCString());  // Tue, 28 Mar 2023 10:40:00 GMT

// Get individual components
console.log(date.getUTCFullYear());  // 2023
console.log(date.getUTCMonth() + 1); // 3
