Mailgun events API timestamp

Question

I'm making calls to the Mailgun events API but I'm confused by the timestamp format. Timestamps show as "timestamp": 1542251497.6072 or the longer format 1542358648.178141 .

I can't find any reference to it in the documentation except their claim to follow "RFC822" specification.

How can I parse/convert these timestamps into JavaScript Date objects (GMT preferably)?

Answer 1

Since you already are using moment simply use the unix method:

moment.unix(1542251497.6072).format()    // "2018-11-14T19:11:37-08:00"
moment.unix(1542358648.178141).format()  // "2018-11-16T00:57:28-08:00"

Which:

Similar to new Date(Number), you can create a moment by passing an integer value representing the number of milliseconds since the Unix Epoch (Jan 1 1970 12AM UTC).
