How this service works
Turn seconds into a readable duration (2 h 5 min) or parse one like '1d 3h 20m' back into seconds, minutes and hours.
Output
Returns a structured object with the duration expressed as a human-readable string (e.g. '2 h 5 min'), a clock format, and numeric breakdowns for days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Also includes a summary field and source echo.
Example use cases
Displaying elapsed job runtime
“I have a background job that took 9823 seconds to finish — can you turn that into a readable duration like '2h 43m 43s' so I can show it in the dashboard?”
Parsing user-entered duration to seconds
“A user typed '1d 3h 20m' into a form field — can you parse that into a total number of seconds and also give me the breakdown in hours and minutes?”
Formatting a countdown timer
“I have 86400 seconds left on a countdown — what does that look like in plain English, like '1 day' or '1d 0h 0m'?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://units-convert.x402tookit.com/duration-format?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to convert a raw number of seconds into a display-friendly duration string, or when you need to parse a human-entered duration expression (like '1d 3h 20m') into numeric components. Prefer this over manual string formatting when you need consistent, multi-unit breakdowns (days/hours/minutes/seconds) and a ready-to-display human string without writing your own parsing logic.
Side effects
- Missing both 'seconds' and 'text' query params — returns an error or empty result
- Invalid duration text format that cannot be parsed — may return null component values
- Negative seconds value — behavior undefined
- Non-numeric input for 'seconds' param — likely returns an error
