Hey Jon. Extremely helpful video, but I'm wondering if you can help me with a specific issue I'm experiencing regarding dates in JSON format.

I'm getting data through an API (everything is set up correctly, etc.), but my dates are being displayed as Jan. 1, 1970.

I understand the JSON date format and that JSON stores dates in the form of "seconds from Jan 1 1970", but I have been unsuccessful in displaying the actual date that is being pulled.

For example: pulling data from Nov. 1 2022 gives me a response of something like "16650471" which is the JSON format mentioned above. When I run the response integer through a JSON date converter online, it returns the correct date however, when I try to display that data as a date in my bubble app, I get "Jan 1, 1970 1:53 AM".

Not sure if I'm missing a step here or if some additional code is needed to make the correct conversion (I don't code). Thought maybe you'd be someone with a potential solution for me.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions/solutions for this issue, I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. Keep doing your thing and I look forward to your response. Thanks Jon!
