I'm working with the downloadable json file thats available at the bottom of our backtests to pull the data into tableau. I wanted to know how to properly decipher the datetime properties for the keys 'generated-time' and 'created-time'.
For example... I am given the value 1422889200 for generated-time and 1,422,889,200 for Created-Time... the value should be somewhere around 2015-02-02 10:00:00. Let me know how I can modify this number to turn it into a datetime variable. Thanks!

Looks like those are Unix timestamps:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_timePython datetime can transform them:
datetime.utcfromtimestamp
