Compute Date Out Of Timestamp From Binance-API (Python)

I received the servertime from the Binance-API,I try to work with and it looks like this: { 'serverTime': 1518440400000 } The question is, how can I compute the date out of this

Solution 1:

You could use this:

from datetime import datetime
datetime.fromtimestamp(int("1518308894652"))

But python says the year is out of range (understandably, considering it says it's 50087). So I suspect that serverTime is not a normal timestamp.

But assuming the response that you got was the timestamp, so you don't need to do any other conversions other than turning the string into an int.

Edit:

Turns out the docs say "All time and timestamp related fields are in milliseconds." So just divide the response by 1000 and you'll be fine: datetime.fromtimestamp(int("1518308894652")/1000). Source

Solution 2:

Your response is in milliseconds when datetime.fromtimestamp requires seconds.

import datetime

print(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1518308894652/1000))
