# manylives.me Trusted Time API

> manylives.me Trusted Time API is a paid API for AI agents from manylives.me, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-13).

Returns the current time from a trusted server as UTC ISO timestamp, Unix seconds/milliseconds, and optionally in a specified IANA time zone.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://manylives.me/paid/util/time?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.002/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-13
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/manylives-me-trusted-time-api-dee1a6d0
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_v5QBK2PKGwU6tMA-0n91E

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 manylives-me-trusted-time-api-dee1a6d0
```

Example prompt: What's the current time right now in the Australia/Sydney time zone, including the Unix timestamp?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a trusted, authoritative server-side timestamp rather than relying on the client's local clock. Ideal for logging, scheduling, debugging time-sensitive workflows, or when you need simultaneous UTC and local-time representations in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid IANA time zone string returns an error or defaults to UTC
- Network latency may cause minor timestamp drift from true current time
- Missing or malformed query parameter may cause unexpected response format

## How this service works

Current time from a trusted server: UTC ISO timestamp, Unix seconds and milliseconds, and the time in an optional IANA time zone.

## Output

A JSON object containing: the UTC ISO 8601 timestamp, Unix time in seconds, Unix time in milliseconds, the requested IANA time zone identifier (if provided), and the local time string formatted for that time zone.
