Need help interpreting news API date result

[Evilfred]

Hi, community,

I am doing a school research project, I used my API key to get date for news release through python.

The sample date result looks like this:

Title: The next Subnautica game is coming in 2025
URL: https://steamstore-a.akamaihd.net/news/externalpost/PC Gamer/5382426458970944443
Release Date: 1700596650

Title: Steam Deck Update Released!
URL: https://steamstore-a.akamaihd.net/news/externalpost/steam_community_announcements/5070528176581093676
Release Date: 1678212198

Anyone know how to interpret and format this release date?

I take any form of a better format: Year/Month/Day or Month/day/ Year, or whatever format makes sense.

Many thanks!

it is a unix timestamp so you need to convert it:

import datetime
print(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1700596650))

Yeah, it's otherwise known as Epoch time. This converter also has a list of code samples for converting it in various languages, so it might be of use.

from datetime import datetime
print(datetime.fromtimestamp(1700596650))
