How to convert current date to epoch timestamp ?
Format current date:
29.08.2011 11:05:02 
768
Convert from human-readable date to epochlong epoch = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss").parse("01/01/1970 01:00:00").getTime() / 1000; Timestamp in seconds, remove '/1000' for milliseconds. date +%s -d"Jan 1, 1980 00:00:01" Replace '-d' with '-ud' to input in GMT/UTC time.
The Unix epoch (or Unix time or POSIX time or Unix timestamp) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds (in ISO 8601: 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z).
To convert a datetime to seconds, subtracts the input datetime from the epoch time. For Python, the epoch time starts at 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970. Subtraction gives you the timedelta object. Use the total_seconds() method of a timedelta object to get the number of seconds since the epoch.
That should do it
import time date_time = '29.08.2011 11:05:02' pattern = '%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S' epoch = int(time.mktime(time.strptime(date_time, pattern))) print epoch If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
