Get the current Unix timestamp (by language)

Here is how to get the current Unix timestamp in major languages. Most return seconds (10 digits) or milliseconds (13 digits).

• JavaScript — Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) (seconds), Date.now() (milliseconds)
• Python — int(time.time())
• Java — System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000L
• PHP — time()
• Go — time.Now().Unix()
• Ruby — Time.now.to_i
• C# — DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.ToUnixTimeSeconds()
• Swift — Int(Date().timeIntervalSince1970)
• Bash — date +%s
• MySQL — SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP()

Be careful not to confuse seconds with milliseconds. Paste any value into the converter at the top of the site to see it as a human-readable date instantly.
