# ForgeMesh Current Time API

> ForgeMesh Current Time API is a paid API for AI agents from x402.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns the current time in any IANA timezone as a local ISO timestamp, UTC ISO, Unix epoch, human-readable string, and day of week

## 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 forgemesh-current-time-api-dbfb4cbe -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current time right now in the Asia/Tokyo timezone — give me the local ISO timestamp, UTC equivalent, Unix epoch, and day of the week?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs a deterministic, multi-format current time snapshot for a specific IANA timezone — especially for scheduling sanity checks, log timestamping, or coordinating across time zones. Prefer over system clock calls when you need UTC + local + epoch + human-readable + weekday all in one shot.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone string returns an error
- Missing timezone defaults to UTC
- Payment failure results in a 402 response blocking the call

## How this service works

Current time API: the time right now in any IANA timezone (America/Chicago, Asia/Tokyo...) — local ISO timestamp, UTC ISO, unix epoch, human-readable string, and day of week. The sanity check every scheduling, logging, and coordination agent needs. Deterministic and instant.

## Output

Returns the current local ISO timestamp, UTC ISO timestamp, Unix epoch integer, human-readable time string, and day of week for the requested IANA timezone.
