# API Project: Timestamp Microservice for FCC

### User stories :

1. The API endpoint is `GET https://cx0der-timestamp-microservice.glitch.me/api/timestamp/:date_string?`

2. A date string is valid if can be successfully parsed by `new Date(date_string)` (JS) . Note that the unix timestamp needs to be an **integer** (not a string) specifying **milliseconds**. In our test we will use date strings compliant with ISO-8601 (e.g. `"2016-11-20"`) because this will ensure an UTC timestamp.

3. If the date string is **empty** it should be equivalent to trigger `new Date()`, i.e. the service uses the current timestamp.

4. If the date string is **valid** the api returns a JSON having the structure 

`{"unix": , "utc" :  }`

e.g. `{"unix": 1479663089000 ,"utc": "Sun, 20 Nov 2016 17:31:29 GMT"}`.

5. If the date string is **invalid** the api returns a JSON having the structure `{"unix": null, "utc" : "Invalid Date" }`. It is what you get from the date manipulation functions used above.

#### Example usage:

* https://cx0der-timestamp-microservice.glitch.me/api/timestamp/2015-12-15

* https://cx0der-timestamp-microservice.glitch.me/api/timestamp/1450137600000

#### Example output:

* { "unix": 1450137600, "natural": "December 15, 2015" }
