How this service works
Format a timestamp as a human relative phrase ("3 hours ago", "in 2 days") versus now or a reference time.
Output
A human-readable relative time phrase such as '3 hours ago', 'in 2 days', or 'just now', computed from the target timestamp relative to now or a provided reference time.
Example use cases

“Can you turn the timestamp '2024-11-01T08:30:00Z' into a human-friendly relative phrase like '3 days ago' or 'in 2 hours', using right now as the reference point?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agent402.tools/api/relative-timeWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to display timestamps in a natural, human-friendly format for end users, dashboards, notifications, or logs — especially when the relative phrasing (e.g. '2 hours ago') is more meaningful than the absolute time. Prefer it over manual date arithmetic when you need consistent, readable output without building your own formatting logic.
Side effects
- Invalid or unparseable timestamp format returns an error
- Missing required 'time' field causes a validation error
- Reference time ('from') in an unrecognized format returns an error
- Extremely distant timestamps (e.g. year 9999) may return unexpected results
