Code Examples
Python
from datetime import datetime, timezone
# 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"))
# Tuesday, March 28, 2023, 10:40:00 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
Go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
t := time.Unix(1680000000, 0).UTC()
fmt.Println(t.Format(time.RFC3339)) // 2023-03-28T10:40:00Z
fmt.Println(t.Weekday()) // Tuesday
