Redis PEXPIREAT Command

Redis Key

The Redis PEXPIREAT command is used to set the expiration time for a key in milliseconds. The key will become unavailable after it expires.

Syntax

The basic syntax of the redis PEXPIREAT command is as follows:

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> PEXPIREAT KEY_NAME TIME_IN_MILLISECONDS_IN_UNIX_TIMESTAMP

Available Versions

= 1.0.0

Return Value

Returns 1 if the setting is successful. Returns 0 when the key does not exist or when the expiration time cannot be set for the key (for example, when you try to update the expiration time of a key in a Redis version lower than 2.1.3).

Example

First, create a key and assign a value:

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> SET tutorialprokey redis
OK

Set the expiration time for the key:

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> PEXPIREAT tutorialprokey 1555555555005
(integer) 1
