Since the .getTime() value is already in UTC, you can just divide by 1000, and round.

That is:

var apiDate = Math.round (new Date().getTime() / 1000);

works just fine.

apiDate is in "unix epoch time" and the API takes these values even if the API parameter is called a "Date".

But, if you want to truncate to the date only, just use:

var dateTime = new Date ();
dateTime.setUTCHours   (0);
dateTime.setUTCMinutes (0);
dateTime.setUTCSeconds (0);

var apiDate = Math.round (dateTime.getTime() / 1000);
