How to get a UTC timestamp in JavaScript

To get a UTC timestamp in JavaScript:

1. Use the getTime() method of the Date object, e.g. new Date().getTime().
2. The getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds since the Unix Epoch.

const timestamp = new Date().getTime()

console.log(timestamp) // 1662916646151

The getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds elapsed between January 1st, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC and the specific date.
