I have a UTC date string -> 10/30/2014 10:37:54 AM
How do I get the timestamp for this UTC date? As far as I know, following is handling this as my local time
var d = new Date("10/30/2014 10:37:54 AM");
return d.getTime();
Thank you

Can you use a library like momentjs? momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/unix-timestampOakley– Oakley2015-12-18 11:57:34 +00:00Commented Dec 18, 2015 at 11:57

Doesn't getTime() returns timestamp in UTC only? See developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/…n4m31ess_c0d3r– n4m31ess_c0d3r2015-12-18 12:04:19 +00:00Commented Dec 18, 2015 at 12:04

You can use Date.UTC to create a UTC format date object.
Reference:
(function() {
var d = new Date();
var d1 = new Date(Date.UTC(d.getFullYear(), d.getMonth(), d.getDate(), d.getHours(), d.getMinutes(), d.getSeconds()));
console.log(+d);
console.log(+d1);
})()

You can decrease the "TimezoneOffset"
var d = new Date("10/30/2014 10:37:54 AM");
return d.getTime() - (d.getTimezoneOffset() *1000 * 60);
Also u can use the UTC function
var d = new Date("10/30/2014 10:37:54 AM");
return Date.UTC(d.getFullYear(),d.getMonth()+1,d.getDate(),d.getHours(),d.getMinutes(),d.getSeconds());

why did you add a +1 behind d.getMonth()?
Adi Darachi
The month value is 0 based. Meaning that "0" is January, "1" is February. But the Date.UTC function expecting 1 based value meaning that "1" is January... and so on, that why we add the +1.
If the format is fixed, you could easly parse it and use the Date.UTC() API.

A quick hack would be to append UTC to the end of your string before parsing:
var d = new Date("10/30/2014 10:37:54 AM UTC");
But I would advise you to use a library like moment.js, it makes parsing dates much easier

Try Date.parse
var d = new Date("10/30/2014 10:37:54 AM");
var timstamp = Date.parse(d) / 1000;

Hope this helps:
Date date= new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
date = sdf.parse(date.toString());
String timestamp = sdf2.format(date);
