How this service works
Machine-readable settlement service
Output
Returns a JSON object with an 'operation' field describing the conversion performed and a 'result' field containing the computed Unix timestamp (epoch time as a number) for the given input time string.
Example use cases
Schedule event at exact epoch time
“I need to schedule a job to fire at June 15, 2024 at 2:30 PM UTC — can you convert that datetime to a Unix timestamp so I can pass it to the scheduler?”
Log entry timestamp normalization
“I have a log entry dated 'December 3, 2023 09:15:00' and I need it as a Unix epoch number to store in my database — can you convert it?”
Expiry time for token generation
“Generate a Unix timestamp for exactly 90 days from now (today is July 1, 2025) so I can use it as the expiry value in a token.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://pennyrail.vercel.app/api/f/time.to-unixWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, on-demand, pay-per-call Unix timestamp conversion without setting up a local library or parsing dependency. It is especially useful in agent workflows where datetime normalization is a one-off step and you want to avoid importing date-parsing libraries. Prefer it over general-purpose time APIs when cost per call ($0.001 USDC) is acceptable and x402 micropayment infrastructure is already in use.
Side effects
- Unparseable time string returns an error or null result
- Ambiguous date formats (e.g. '01/02/03') may yield unexpected results
- Empty or missing 'input' field returns a validation error
- Timezone-ambiguous strings may default to UTC or server locale
- Payment failure or insufficient funds results in a 402 response before processing
