# Bazaar Gateway Timestamp API

> Bazaar Gateway Timestamp API is a paid API for AI agents from bazaar-gateway.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status down (last checked 2026-10-12).

Returns current date, time, unix epoch, and timezone metadata for any IANA timezone worldwide

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 bazaar-gateway-vercel-app-aa43ee4c
```

Example prompt: What's the current date and time in Tokyo right now, including whether daylight saving is active and if it's a business day?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative current time data for a specific timezone, especially when DST awareness, business hours detection, or structured ISO/RFC 3339 timestamps are needed for scheduling or logging. Prefer over system clock when the agent runtime timezone may be unreliable or when you need rich calendar metadata like week-of-year alongside the timestamp.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone name returns an error
- Network timeout if Vercel edge is slow
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Missing required payment header returns 402

## How this service works

Current date, time, and timestamp for any timezone worldwide. Returns UTC and local timestamps, unix epoch, day of week. Useful for scheduling, logging, and time-aware operations.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the current date (e.g. '4/17/2026'), time string, unix epoch number, UTC ISO 8601 timestamp, local timestamp string, ISO local with offset (RFC 3339), day of week, month name, day of year (1-366), week of year (ISO 8601), UTC offset in ±HH:MM, UTC offset in minutes, DST active flag, is_weekend flag, is_business_hours_local flag, timezone name, response time in ms, and a call_id for audit.
