Java Convert Instant to Epoch Seconds

In this Java core tutorial we learn how to convert a java.time.Instant object into an epoch seconds value in Java programming language.

How to convert Instant to Epoch Seconds in Java

In Java, with a given Instant object we can use the Instant.getEpochSecond() to return epoch seconds value which is the number of seconds from the Java epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z as the following example Java code.

ConvertInstantToEpochSecondsExample1.java

import java.time.Instant;

public class ConvertInstantToEpochSecondsExample1 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        Instant instant = Instant.parse("2022-05-10T07:30:30Z");

        long epochSeconds = instant.getEpochSecond();

        System.out.println("Instant: " + instant);
        System.out.println("Epoch Seconds: " + epochSeconds);
    }
}

Instant: 2022-05-10T07:30:30Z
Epoch Seconds: 1652167830

Happy Coding 😊
