Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 anokha-web-tools-current-time-timezone-lookup-5845613d
```

Example prompt: What's the current local time in Asia/Kolkata, including whether DST is active and the UTC offset?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call current time or timezone conversion without maintaining API keys. Ideal for AI agents that need accurate local time, UTC offset, or DST status for scheduling, localization, or datetime arithmetic. Prefer over free alternatives when operating in a x402 micropayment workflow on Base/USDC and need reliable, programmatic timezone data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid timezone string (e.g. unknown tz name) returns an error response
- Malformed datetime string for 'at' param causes parse failure
- Missing required method param results in schema validation error
- Network or payment failure returns HTTP 402 or 5xx

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for AI agents: web to Markdown, PDF text, Markdown to PDF, charts, diagrams, QR, page publishing, DNS, RDAP, TLS. x402, USDC on Base, no API key.

## Output

A JSON object with the resolved timezone name (tz), a boolean DST flag, an ISO 8601 formatted local datetime string (iso), and the UTC offset in decimal hours (utc_offset_hours). Example: {"tz":"Asia/Kolkata","dst":false,"iso":"2026-10-01T19:00:00+05:30","utc_offset_hours":5.5}
