# agent402.tools Current Time API

> agent402.tools Current Time API is a paid API for AI agents from agent402.tools, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13, last successful call 2026-07-17).

Returns the current UTC time in multiple formats (ISO, epoch seconds/ms, day of week/year, ISO week), with optional IANA timezone conversion.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent402-tools-current-time-api-9a5190bd
```

Example prompt: What's the current time right now — give me UTC and also convert it to America/Chicago so I can see the local time there?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs authoritative current time data in multiple formats simultaneously — especially when epoch seconds/ms, ISO week, and day-of-year are all needed at once, or when timezone conversion is required without a separate conversion step. Prefer over local system time when you need a trusted external time source.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone string returns an error response
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC returns 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout on the endpoint returns a connection error

## How this service works

Current time: UTC ISO, epoch seconds/ms, day of week/year, ISO week - optionally rendered in any IANA timezone via ?tz=.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the current time as a UTC ISO 8601 string, Unix epoch in seconds and milliseconds, day of week (name/number), day of year, ISO week number, and if ?tz= is provided, the same moment rendered in the requested IANA timezone.
