[Feature request] Add epoch start time to "Get running time entry"

[JoeyStrandnes]

This is the response from "Get running time entry"

{
    "data":{
        "id":436694100,
        "wid":777,
        "pid":193791,
        "billable":false,
        "start":"2014-01-30T09:08:04+00:00",
        "duration":-1391072884,
        "description":"Running time entry",
        "at":"2014-01-30T09:08:12+00:00"
    }
}

The timer duration is in the epoch time format and the start time is in the ISO 8601 time format.

I'm using your API for embedded systems and don't natively have access to "real time", I'm not able to easily calculate the timer duration since the two time format differ. To solve this I first have to request the current time from worldtimeapi.org then request your "Get running time entry" and then calculate the difference resulting in the timer duration in seconds.

This works fine but results in much longer "processing" time and unnecessary API calls to other services for a simple function.

Could you add a "startepoch"entry to the returned JSON document that just returns the start time in the epoch time format. Exactly like the regular "start" but in epoch time.

Thanks
