## The idea is: The Date and Time app has 7 actions. I suggest adding two to easily convert Unix and Javascript timestamps. ## My use case: I’m exporting Zillow API data and all the listing date/times and change date/times are in Unix Time Stamp (aka milliseconds) Example: listingDateTimeOnZillow: 1699724220000. ## I think it would be beneficial to add this because: Having this to convert to mm/dd/yyyy or any other format needed would help us not have to implement a code block with javascript to process such a remedial task. ## Any resources to support this? > **[Unix TimeStamp - Epoch Converter - TimeStamp Converter](https://unixtime.org/)** > > Epoch and unix timestamp converter for developers. Date and time function syntax reference for various programming languages. ## Are you willing to work on this? Do I even possess this capability? LOL ---

Hey @Ibanez1998, You can already do this in the Date & Time node, I have put an example below for you. You may also be able to do this in an expression using [Luxon](https://docs.n8n.io/code/luxon/). Let me know if either of these approaches work for you. ---

That’s great news! A bit obscure though if I think about it. Perhaps it can still be added as an actual action to make it more visible of a solution? ---

Hey @Jon , thanks for all the help quick question for you. Is there a way to pass multiple date fields (perhaps like search for all of them) and have the modification done? ---

Use set node to modify time in the value field check my mini help to find modification to your needs if $json.body.listingDateTimeOnZillow is unix miliseconds {{DateTime.fromSeconds($json.body.listingDateTimeOnZillow/1000).toFormat(‘yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss’)}} // Output: 2023-10-13 17:23:58 {{DateTime.fromSeconds(new Date().getTime()/1000).toFormat(‘yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss’)}} // Output: 2023-10-13 17:23:58 {{Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000)}} // Output: 1573041058 {{new Date().getTime()}} // Output: 1573041058024 {{new Date().toISOString()}} // Output: 2019-11-06T11:50:58.025Z {{new Date().toString()}} // Output: Wed Nov 06 2019 12:50:58 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time) {{new Date().toLocaleDateString()}} // Output: 11/6/2019 {{ new Date().toISOString(“en-GB”`, {timeZone: "Europe/Moscow"`}).replace(‘T’, ’ ').slice(0, -5) }} // Output ISO: 2022-12-04 21:26:27 2023-02-21T22:43:59+03:00 to unix - {{Date.parse( $json.body.date) / 1000}} if 2023-04-03T08:20:33Z - {{ DateTime.fromISO($json.create\_time).toFormat(‘yyyy-MM-dd HH.mm’) }} plusmonths: {{DateTime.fromISO($json[“body”][“date”]).plus({ months: $json[“months”] }).toUnixInteger()}} {{Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000)+30}} - unix+30 secomds another example - [Google Calendar How do I set up a notification in advance? - #3 by nle](http://community.n8n.io/t/google-calendar-how-do-i-set-up-a-notification-in-advance/14528/3) ---

@Jon thoughts on adding it to Date/Time to make it clearer? ---

Hey @Ibanez1998, It is kind of already there and is easy enought to do, It can also be done with Luxon in expressions but while I personally don’t think we need this if the community vote for this then it would be something to add. ---
