What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC — known as the Unix epoch. It's a timezone-independent way to represent a point in time, widely used in databases, APIs, log files and programming.
Note the difference between seconds (10 digits, e.g. 1700000000) and milliseconds (13 digits, e.g. 1700000000000). JavaScript's Date.now() returns milliseconds; most Unix systems and databases use seconds.
