Use TIME to read the server’s clock. The reply has two values: the Unix time in seconds and the microseconds elapsed within the current second. Because it comes from the server, every client gets the same reference regardless of its own clock drift, which makes it the value to use when computing deadlines, measuring intervals, or writing timestamps that different machines must agree on.

Syntax

Arguments

This command takes no arguments.

Response

The reply reports the result of the operation. Error replies have the same shape in RESP2 and RESP3 and are surfaced as exceptions by the SDKs below.
Client libraries often decode bulk strings, maps, sets, and numeric strings into language-native values. The table describes the Redis wire reply.

Examples

TCP examples use the TLS REDIS_URL from the Upstash console. REST examples use UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN.
