Unix Timestamp in Scala
Look up the current epoch time and convert between Unix seconds and UTC dates in Scala.
Get the current timestamp
import java.time.Instant
@main def timestamp(): Unit =
println(Instant.now().getEpochSecond)Timestamp to date
import java.time.Instant
@main def timestamp(): Unit =
println(Instant.ofEpochSecond(1700000000L))Date to timestamp
import java.time.Instant
@main def timestamp(): Unit =
println(Instant.parse("2023-11-14T22:13:20Z").getEpochSecond)Open 1700000000 in the converter

How to use it
- Copy the current-time example into your Scala environment to read Unix seconds.
- Run the second example to display 1700000000 as a UTC date.
- Run the last example to convert that date back into seconds.
Scala on the JVM can use java.time directly. getEpochSecond returns a Long, so avoid narrowing the result to Int when you need dates beyond 2038.
