what is the date format from stash api? - bitbucket-server

Question

In the below json response, what is the date format for createdDate and updatedDate? I am not sure how to work in reverse to find what format the api is using for date. I couldn't find this any where in the documentation.

Answer 1

Just making a note that in my case, it is a UNIX timestamp, but I have to remove three trailing zeroes. E.g. the data looks like this:
"createdDate":1555621993000
If interpreted as a UNIX timestamp, that would be 09/12/51265 # 4:16am (UTC).
By removing the three trailing zeroes I get 1555621993, which is the correct time 04/18/2019 # 9:13pm (UTC)
Your mileage may vary but that was a key discovery for me :)

Answer 2

It looks like a UNIX timestamp.
