Hi Sunith,

That UNIX epoch timestamp is in milliseconds.

If converted to a timestamp this file was last modified on: GMT: Tuesday, 19 July 2022 07:50:52.750

Hi @sunith992, to add to @MiguelangelC's response, here is how I convert unix epoch times to local time:

import dataiku
import datetime
ds_last_modified_unix_epoch = dataiku.Dataset("DS_NAME").get_config()['versionTag']['lastModifiedOn']
dtm = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(ds_last_modified_unix_epoch / 1000)
print(dtm.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f'))

To return UTC / GMT time, use utcfromtimestamp instead of fromtimestamp.
