// running tests A request to

/api/1451001600000

should return

{ unix: 1451001600000, utc: "Fri, 25 Dec 2015 00:00:00 GMT" }

// tests completed

What am I doing wrong?

You are returning {"error":"Invalid Date"}

Here is a hint:

isNaN(new Date(1451001600000).getTime())
// false

isNaN(new Date("1451001600000").getTime())
// true
