I want to get the date / time stamp for the last item was added / updated to SharePoint site using JavaScript. Is there any API in JS to do so?
Thanks.

Check the http://yoursite/_api/web
It will returns the attribute called "LastItemModified".

Just make a GET request to following URL.
{site url}/_api/web/LastItemModifiedDate
Example using jQuery
$.ajax({
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/LastItemModifiedDate",
type: "GET",
headers: {
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
},
success: function(data) {
console.log(data.d.LastItemModifiedDate);
},
error: function(error) {
alert(JSON.stringify(error));
}
});

Here is a fetch() version using ES6:
let url = 'http://www.example.com/yourweb/_api/web/lists/getbytitle(\'Member Your List Name\')/LastItemModifiedDate'; fetch(url,{ method:'get', credentials:'include', headers:{ "Accept":"application/json;odata=nometadata" } }) .then(res => res.json()) .then(json => console.log(json.value)) .catch(error => console.error("Caught Error\n",error))May 16, 2019 at 15:05
(in Chrome) Install the SharePoint Insider plugin:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sharepoint-insider/gjckpigahcbffmeofjfedlffddhfidhjBrowse to a (Sub)Web
See the 2 LastItem** fields with the info you (might) want
Use the JSON tab to learn how to call the API

Not sure why this was downvoted. It may not provide the exact answer, but it provides an opportunity to get the answer and more.– wjervisNov 22, 2016 at 13:10

I am surprised nobody mentioned the difference between the LastItemModifiedDate and LastItemUserModifiedDate. The latter property was added later by Microsoft to reflect changes made by user accounts only. The former property was influenced by changes made by the system.
REST call:
sites/.../_api/web/LastItemUserModifiedDate
Read about it here:
Modified dates in Site Contents should reflect content changes, not system changes.

There are 2 properties, Atish only mentions the date that is also influenced by system accounts. Feb 19, 2018 at 8:19

While both LastItemModifiedDate and LastItemUserModifiedDate can be used on the /web level, in SharePoint 2013, it appears only LastItemModifiedDate can be used with a list
/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('your list')/LastItemModifiedDateMay 16, 2019 at 14:58
