summary: Returns the expiration time of a hash field as a Unix timestamp, in seconds.
syntax_fmt: "HEXPIRETIME key FIELDS\_numfields field [field ...]"
title: HEXPIRETIME
---
Returns the absolute Unix timestamp in seconds since Unix epoch at which the given key's field(s) will expire.

See also the [`HPEXPIRETIME`]({{< relref "/commands/hpexpiretime" >}}) command, which returns the same information with millisecond resolution.

## Examples

```
redis> HSET mykey field1 "hello" field2 "world"
(integer) 2
redis> HEXPIRE mykey 300  FIELDS 2 field1 field2
1) (integer) 1
2) (integer) 1
redis> HEXPIRETIME mykey FIELDS 2 field1 field2
1) (integer) 1715705914
2) (integer) 1715705914
```

* [Array reply](../../develop/reference/protocol-spec#arrays). For each field:
    - [Integer reply](../../develop/reference/protocol-spec#integers): `-2` if no such field exists in the provided hash key, or the provided key does not exist.
    - [Integer reply](../../develop/reference/protocol-spec#integers): `-1` if the field exists but has no associated expiration set.
    - [Integer reply](../../develop/reference/protocol-spec#integers): the expiration (Unix timestamp) in seconds.
