FreeCodeCamp APIs and Microservices Projects - Timestamp Microservice
-
The API endpoint is
GET [project_url]/api/timestamp/:date_string? -
A date string is valid if can be successfully parsed by
new Date(date_string). Note that the unix timestamp needs to be an integer (not a string) specifying milliseconds. In our test we will use date strings compliant with ISO-8601 (e.g. "2016-11-20") because this will ensure an UTC timestamp. -
If the date string is empty it should be equivalent to trigger
new Date(), i.e. the service uses the current timestamp. -
If the date string is valid the api returns a JSON having the structure
{"unix": <date.getTime()>, "utc" : <date.toUTCString()> }e.g.{"unix": 1479663089000 ,"utc": "Sun, 20 Nov 2016 17:31:29 GMT"} -
If the date string is invalid the api returns a JSON having the structure
{"error" : "Invalid Date" }.
