Hello,
i request some Infos with api´s using get and there is a Timstamp included 1628435956.
How can i Convert this into a normal time, i need only minutes.
Thanks and greez
You can use the clock sensor.
The milliseconds you gave are for
Mon 19 January 1970 21:20:35
So the result is 20.
Only minute

Hi,
Yes the timestamp is in the requested API (https://mempool.space/api/blocks) which I should be doing, this thing actually works.
To clear why im doing this.
Look here for my build:
i want the XX Minutes ago implemented, like here
i tried some as you tell but i get always 20
any kind of idea what i can do?
Do you want this?
This gives
19
18
16
55
49
33
25
11
10
7
as result
Change mediantime to timestamp if that is the time you want.
this wont work on my build.
for example:
i want listed the blocks with XX Minutes ago
i have only this api with this timestamps for this event.
Why wouldn't it work?
What does that mean. Isn't that what i showed you?
So, for me work this now. But i have the normal time like 22:02:17
but i need the minutes ago from the current time ^^
Idk i get this error:
Read this (especially point 2 and 3):

Actually, i need the unix format epoch timestamp in seconds, how can i get it in App Inventor? Thanks.
You should check Clock blocks.

A Unix Epoch is already in seconds; Epoch, also known as Unix timestamps, is the number of seconds (not milliseconds!) that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 GMT (1970-01-01 00:00:00 GMT).

but how do you get it, no such function there?
Have you tried dividing the (clock.now as milliseconds) by 1000 ? (to get seconds)

is it that simple 
? tried, clock.now cannot be divided by 1000. tried format it using pattern"S", not sure that's the right way.
convert instant to millis then divide by 1000
