If you are talking about python, and have pandas installed, then the answer is `pd.Timestmap(val)` ---

Hi Hitoshi, Thank you so much for your help. This gets me one step closer to start using Alpaca for algorithmic trading. I have two additional questions: - List item Are there are any plans of making it possible to use websockets in Europe (Sweden to be exact) - List item We have special investments accounts in Sweden that means we pay no capital tax. However, if I have my money with Alpaca, I would have to pay capital tax in Sweden. Any plans of making Alpaca available in other countries?
