Time

Description

This function returns the current timetoken value from the PubNub network.

Algorithm constructing the timetoken

timetoken = (Unix epoch time in seconds) * 10000000

Example of creating a timetoken for a specific time and date:

08/19/2013 @ 9:20pm in UTC = 1376961606
timetoken = 1376961606 * 10000000
timetoken = 13769616060000000

Method(s)

To fetch Time you can use the following method(s) in Dart SDK:

time()

Basic Usage

var response = await pubnub.time();

Returns

The time() operation returns a Timetoken which contains the following operations:

Method	Type	Description
