# Current Time by Timezone

> Current Time by Timezone is a paid API for AI agents from intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns the current local date, time, UTC offset, day of week, Unix timestamp, ISO 8601 string, and week number for any IANA timezone.

## Facts

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 current-time-by-timezone-0ae7b7a3
```

Example prompt: What is the current local time, day of the week, and UTC offset in Tokyo right now — use the IANA timezone America/New_York if I need New York instead.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs an authoritative, structured current time reading for a specific IANA timezone — especially when multiple time fields (local time, UTC offset, Unix timestamp, ISO 8601, week number, day of week) are needed simultaneously. Prefer this over a generic system clock when the agent is operating in a stateless environment, needs timezone-aware scheduling data, or must log precise cross-timezone timestamps.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone string returns an error response
- Missing timezone parameter may default to UTC or return a validation error
- Network latency may cause slight skew in the returned Unix timestamp
- Non-existent timezones (e.g. typos like 'America/NewYork') will not resolve correctly

## How this service works

Current time in any IANA timezone: local date and time, UTC offset, day of week, Unix timestamp, ISO 8601 and week number. A reliable clock for agents. $0.01 per call.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the current local date and time, UTC offset (e.g. +09:00), day of the week (e.g. Wednesday), Unix timestamp (seconds since epoch), ISO 8601 formatted datetime string, and the ISO week number — all calculated for the requested IANA timezone.
