Instagram uses this value as a Unix time, you can get this as a double first and you can use it as ;

DateTime dt = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
dt = dt.AddSeconds(1437648595).ToLocalTime();

It returns 23.07.2015 13:49:55 in my time zone which I currently in UTC+03:00.

I think this post answers your question. How to convert a Unix timestamp to DateTime and vice versa?

The format that you have posted looks like Unix time. Start your searching from there ;)
