What is a Unix timestamp?

Updated this week

A Unix timestamp (also called Unix time or POSIX time) is the number of seconds that have passed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC. This moment in time is known as the Unix epoch.

Unix timestamps are commonly used in programming and APIs to represent dates and times in a machine-readable format.
