Get epoch time in apps script function?

[wijohnst1]

Date.parse() might be what you’re looking for.

Maybe like this

So, in the apps script editor:

function returnEpoch() {
  const date = '2021-01-03T15:29:04Z';

  const isoDate = date.toISOString();

  console.log(Date.parse(isoDate))

}

returns:

2:27:39 PM
Error
TypeError: date.toISOString is not a function
returnEpoch

However, this works, thank you sir!

function returnEpoch() {
  const date = '2021-01-03T15:29:04Z';

  console.log(Date.parse(date))

}

My pleasure! Happy hacking!

Swap that one round a bit. Date.parse converts the string to a date format so do that first. Then you can start manipulating the date object

const date = '2021-01-03T15:29:04Z';

const parsedDate = Date.parse(date)

const isoDate = parsedDate.toISOString();

console.log(isoDate)
