Time/Timezone Utilities

Unix To Datetime

Converts Unix timestamps to human-readable datetime strings with timezone support. Use via MCP in Cursor or Windsurf, or call GET /v1/time/unix-to-datetime directly. Pass timestamp 1640995200 to get "2022-01-01 00:00:00 UTC". Handles millisecond precision and custom timezone formatting for reliable datetime operations in AI workflows.

API Endpoint

GET /v1/time/unix-to-datetime

Code Examples

curl "https://tinyfn.io/v1/time/unix-to-datetime" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

const response = await fetch('https://tinyfn.io/v1/time/unix-to-datetime', {
  headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

import requests

response = requests.get('https://tinyfn.io/v1/time/unix-to-datetime',
    headers={'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'})
data = response.json()
print(data)

FAQ

How do I convert Unix timestamp to datetime using MCP?

Call the unix-to-datetime tool with your timestamp. It returns formatted datetime strings with timezone info, perfect for AI agents processing time-based data.

What's the difference between Unix seconds and milliseconds?

Unix timestamps are typically 10 digits (seconds since 1970) or 13 digits (milliseconds). The tool auto-detects format and converts appropriately.

Can I specify timezone when converting Unix timestamps?

Yes, pass timezone parameter to get results in specific zones like 'America/New_York' or 'Europe/London' instead of default UTC.

What datetime format does the Unix converter return?

Returns ISO 8601 format by default (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS TZ), but supports custom formatting patterns for different output requirements.

How do I handle invalid or future Unix timestamps?

The tool validates timestamp ranges and returns errors for invalid values. Future timestamps work fine, but check for reasonable date bounds in your application.
