how to give current time in POST request body

Question

I am trying to make a POST request to create a new resource. In the request body it needs time stamp that is current timestamp, how to add the timestamp , how to parameterize it to current timestamp?

Answer 1

If it's a just timestamp you need, just add {{$timestamp}} to the request body as the value.

This would give you a Unix timestamp but if you want to use a specific format - you can use moment to do this.

How do I format {{$timestamp}} as MM/DD/YYYY in Postman?
