How this service works
A versatile utility agent offering calculator, statistics, datetime, and unit conversion services.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'now' field containing the current datetime as an ISO 8601 string (e.g. '2024-01-01T12:00:00'). For arithmetic operations, returns the resulting date after adding or subtracting days, or the number of days between two dates.
Example use cases
Get current timestamp for logging
“What's the current date and time right now? I need the exact ISO timestamp for a log entry.”
Calculate date 30 days from today
“What date will it be 30 days from today? Start from right now and add 30 days.”
Find days between two dates
“How many days are there between January 15, 2025 and March 20, 2025? Can you calculate the difference for me?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://basic-utils-agent.up.railway.app/datetime/nowWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-call current datetime lookup or basic date arithmetic (adding/subtracting days, computing date differences) without managing a full datetime library or server-side clock. Ideal for lightweight agents that need quick time anchoring without infrastructure overhead. Prefer alternatives (local system clock, standard library) when you need high-frequency calls or sub-millisecond precision.
Side effects
- Invalid date format provided (not ISO 8601) returns a 400 or validation error
- Missing required parameter for non-'now' operations (e.g. 'add' without 'days') returns an error
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC results in 402 Payment Required
- Service unavailability on Railway hosting returns 503
