How to use the Timestamp Microservice Api endpoints

Method - GET

• https://timestamp-microservice-api.asuquoemmanuel.repl.co/api/:date?

  :date? should be in this format (2022-10-18)

  example - https://timestamp-microservice-api.asuquoemmanuel.repl.co/api/2022-10-18

• https://timestamp-microservice-api.asuquoemmanuel.repl.co/api/1451001600000

  should return { unix: 1451001600000, utc: "Fri, 25 Dec 2015 00:00:00 GMT" }

Test Cases

• You should provide your own project, not the example URL.
• A request to /api/:date? with a valid date should return a JSON object with a unix key that is a Unix timestamp of the input date in milliseconds (as type Number)
• A request to /api/:date? with a valid date should return a JSON object with a utc key that is a string of the input date in the format: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT.
• A request to /api/1451001600000 should return { unix: 1451001600000, utc: "Fri, 25 Dec 2015 00:00:00 GMT" }.
• Your project can handle dates that can be successfully parsed by new Date(date_string).
• If the input date string is invalid, the api returns an object having the structure { error : "Invalid Date" }.
• An empty date parameter should return the current time in a JSON object with a unix key.
• An empty date parameter should return the current time in a JSON object with a utc key.
