## 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 api-strale-io-28813838
```

Example prompt: What IANA timezone, current UTC offset, and DST status apply to 'Chicago' right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative IANA timezone data including real-time DST status and local time for any location specified by city name, country code, or lat/lon coordinates. Prefer this over static timezone databases when up-to-date DST transitions matter.

## Known failure modes

- Ambiguous city name resolves to unexpected location (e.g. multiple cities named 'Springfield')
- Invalid or unrecognized country code returns error
- Coordinates outside any timezone boundary return error
- Query string missing returns 400 validation error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC results in 402 payment required

## How this service works

Get timezone information for a country code, city name, or coordinates. Returns IANA timezone, current UTC offset, DST status, and current local time.

## Output

Returns the IANA timezone identifier (e.g. 'America/Chicago'), current UTC offset in hours, whether DST is currently active, and the current local time at the queried location.
