## 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 datavault-time-current-time-by-timezone-5b2b473c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current time in the America/New_York timezone?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the current real-world time for a specific timezone, especially in a pay-per-call context using USDC on Base. Prefer this over system clock calls when you need authoritative server-side time or when operating in an agentic workflow that already uses the DataVault ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized timezone string returns an error or empty data
- Missing timezone parameter may default to UTC or return an error
- Network or server unavailability returns a non-200 response
- Malformed request body returns a validation error
