## 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 agishub-time-now-6167466b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What time is it right now in Tokyo — give me the local time, the UTC offset, and whether daylight saving is in effect for Asia/Tokyo.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the real-time current local time for a specific IANA-named timezone, especially when you also need the UTC offset and DST status in a single call. Prefer it over a static offset lookup when DST accuracy matters. It complements the sibling UTC-offset endpoint, which handles arbitrary instants; this one is optimized for 'right now' queries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone string returns an error (e.g. 'America/Fake' is rejected)
- Missing required 'timezone' query parameter results in a 400-level error
- Payment failure or insufficient funds returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Network or server-side outages may cause 5xx errors

## How this service works

Get the current local time in an IANA timezone, including the UTC offset, zone abbreviation and whether DST is in effect. Use whenever you need to know what time it is 'now' somewhere.

## Output

A JSON object containing the current local time at the moment of the call for the specified IANA timezone, along with the UTC offset (e.g. +05:30), the timezone abbreviation (e.g. IST, CET), and a boolean or flag indicating whether daylight saving time is currently in effect.
