Epoch & Time Zone Conversion - Knowledge Base

Overview

The beaconcha.in API provides some data indexed by epoch. To better understand the relationship between time and epochs, you can use the Slot Finder tool and the time constants provided below.

For aggregated rewards over a date range, Rewards Aggregated accepts a Unix timestamp range directly (Scale and Enterprise plans). See Custom Range Rewards.
