JavaScript - Converting a Date() into seconds

rated 0 times [ 83] [ 2] / answers: 1 / hits: 78618 / 9 Years ago, tue, august 25, 2015, 12:00:00

I'm using the Hacker News API made at Algolia here:

https://hn.algolia.com/api

I'm a bit confused as it says to search for posts since a certain time it says to run the following query:

Comments since timestamp X (in second)
http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search_by_date?tags=comment&numericFilters=created_at_i>X

It says to replace X with a timestamp in seconds, but how exactly would you do this? Let's say the last post I have is at 2015-08-25T15:35:58.000Z. How exactly would I run this query to search for posts since that date? I don't know how to convert this date to seconds...

getTime() will get the date in milliseconds, so divide by 1000:

var date = new Date(2015-08-25T15:35:58.000Z);

var seconds = date.getTime() / 1000; //1440516958
