I am trying to extract the Current Unix epoch time in milliseconds from this website but I failed. Here is my code

Document document = Jsoup.connect("https://www.freeformatter.com/epoch-timestamp-to-date-converter.html").get();
String content = document.getElementById("epochMs").text();

For some reason, the content is empty. Maybe I need to click on the href link first to stop the running timer? Any idea how to get the timestamp?

Why would you do that rather than get it directly via code? – g00se Feb 06 '23 at 14:16
Because i have many nodes and i want to synchronize them for example someone in greece someone in germany thats why and clocks of machines maybe differ – Mixalis Navridis Feb 06 '23 at 14:22

Even if that's the case, scraping a site is way inferior to making a request to a time server directly – g00se Feb 06 '23 at 14:30
i just want to synchronize the whole clients and this is the easiest way that i find. if you have something else on your mind please feel free to post it in comment – Mixalis Navridis Feb 06 '23 at 14:31

Have a look at time.google.com. And [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4442192/how-to-use-an-internet-time-server-to-get-the-time) – g00se Feb 06 '23 at 14:36
i am still having issues i use NTPUDPClient and still get inconsistencies between different machines cant to synchronize them any help timestamp is different – Mixalis Navridis Feb 06 '23 at 16:01
Are you using the `long` value? – g00se Feb 06 '23 at 16:25
long returnTime = timeInfo.getReturnTime(); – Mixalis Navridis Feb 06 '23 at 16:26
Of what nature are the "inconsistencies"? – g00se Feb 06 '23 at 16:56
