Good afternoon team,

Hope all is well. I was wondering if you have a script that would return the data from the API with the real timestamp rather than the epoch time?

Kind Regards,  
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

first of all, welcome to the community! We are always happy to receive and respond to your questions.

Based on what you are asking I wrote a comprehensive guide on how to retrieve results from the API in python, using the pagination features and write them into a CSV for further processing by other tools here:

> [@Fetching Ping Results from a Specific Agent using NetBeez API into a CSV file](https://community.netbeez.net/t/fetching-ping-results-from-a-specific-agent-using-netbeez-api-into-a-csv-file/106):

> In this guide, we’ll demonstrate how to write a Python script to fetch all ping results from a specific agent within a given time range, using NetBeez’s API. The results will be saved in a CSV file, with each timestamp parsed into a human-readable date/time. Prerequisites Python 3.x A valid Bearer token for NetBeez’s API Installation First, install the requests library to handle HTTP requests: pip install requests Step 1: import the necessary libraries: import requests import csv import ti…

To specifically answer your question notice the line which converts the epoch timestamp in milliseconds into a human readable timestamp here:

```python
'ts': datetime.fromtimestamp(result['attributes']['ts'] / 1000).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'),

```

Let me know if you have any other questions regarding this or the API in general.

Thanks,
