Go Timestamp Examples
Complete guide to working with timestamps in Go. Learn time package, formatting, and best practices.
Get Current Timestamp
Get current Unix timestamp in Go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
// Get current Unix timestamp in seconds
now := time.Now()
unixSeconds := now.Unix()
fmt.Println("Unix seconds:", unixSeconds) // 1729584000
// Get Unix timestamp in milliseconds
unixMilli := now.UnixMilli()
fmt.Println("Unix milliseconds:", unixMilli) // 1729584000000
// Get Unix timestamp in nanoseconds
unixNano := now.UnixNano()
fmt.Println("Unix nanoseconds:", unixNano)
// Get Unix timestamp in microseconds
unixMicro := now.UnixMicro()
fmt.Println("Unix microseconds:", unixMicro)
}Convert Timestamp to Time
Convert Unix timestamp to time.Time object
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
// From Unix seconds
timestamp := int64(1729584000)
t := time.Unix(timestamp, 0)
fmt.Println(t) // 2024-10-22 01:20:00 +0000 UTC
// From Unix milliseconds
timestampMilli := int64(1729584000000)
t2 := time.UnixMilli(timestampMilli)
fmt.Println(t2)
// From Unix microseconds
timestampMicro := int64(1729584000000000)
t3 := time.UnixMicro(timestampMicro)
fmt.Println(t3)
// Format the time
formatted := t.Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05")
fmt.Println(formatted) // "2024-10-22 01:20:00"
}Parse String to Timestamp
Parse date strings and convert to timestamps
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
// Parse RFC3339 (ISO 8601)
str := "2024-10-22T01:20:00Z"
t, err := time.Parse(time.RFC3339, str)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(t.Unix()) // 1729584000
// Parse custom format
customStr := "2024-10-22 01:20:00"
layout := "2006-01-02 15:04:05"
t2, err := time.Parse(layout, customStr)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(t2.Unix())
// Parse with timezone
loc, _ := time.LoadLocation("America/New_York")
t3, _ := time.ParseInLocation(layout, customStr, loc)
fmt.Println(t3.Unix())
