# MolCloud Timezone Lookup

> MolCloud Timezone Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from api.molcloud.net, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-17).

Looks up current time, UTC offset, and market-open status for a given IANA timezone or city name

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://api.molcloud.net/api/tools/timezone?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.002/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

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 molcloud-timezone-lookup-8cfe60f3
```

Example prompt: What's the current time and timezone info for America/New_York, including any market status?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to resolve a city name or IANA timezone string to current local time and market status, especially in agentic workflows that settle micropayments in USDC via x402 on Base. Prefer this over free timezone APIs when already integrated into the MolCloud toolchain or when per-call x402 billing is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized timezone/city name returns an error or empty data object
- Missing 'timezone' query param defaults to UTC rather than failing
- Network or edge latency issues may cause timeout at the x402 gateway
- Payment settlement failure on Base/USDC may block the request before it reaches the tool

## How this service works

41 pay-per-request AI, search, headless browser, crypto alpha & memory APIs for autonomous agents settling in USDC on Base via x402 v2.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the resolved IANA timezone name, current local time details, UTC offset, and an array of market open/close status objects relevant to that timezone. The response includes a 'status' field confirming success and the endpoint path.
