How to get javascript date or epoch date for oAuth timestamp

[debzidoodle]

Hello,

I am trying to setup an oAuth Request Token procedure.   It is v1 so it requires the unix\epoch time, which is the same thing as the javascript code like this

Code: [Select]

var epochTime = (new Date).getTime()
Does NT have a way for me to get this value from server side code?

Hi Debra,

There are 3 methods to convert to and from Unix Epoch dates.

p_web.ClarionToUnixDate (date,time)

so the epoch date of the current date/time on the server is

p_web.ClarionToUnixDate (today(),clock())

Returns a long in "unix epoch" format. Pretty much works for dates from 1970 to 2038.

The reverse are;

p_web.UnixToClarionDate(epoch)
and
p_web.UnixToClarionTime(epoch)

Cheers
Bruce
