Binance API time value refers to...?


I use client.get_historical_klines(pair_to_trade, Client.KLINE_INTERVAL_1DAY, date_0, date_1) to get candlesticks data from Binance API starting from date_0 to date_1. According to this site, the first and the 7th data in the list, refers to open time and close time. For example i get for 30 Aug, 2021 the following: open time: 1630281600000, and close time: 1630285199999 (on a one day interval).

My question is, what are those numbers. Is there a way to convert them to get an actual date&time that is readable? (i.e. (2021,8,30,0,0) for 30 Aug, 2021, 00:00)
