What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC (known as the "epoch"). It is the universal standard for representing dates and times in programming, databases, and APIs. Its advantage is that it is independent of time zones and regional formats.
