# opendata402 Time Zone Current Time

> opendata402 Time Zone Current Time is a paid API for AI agents from opendata402.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-15).

Returns the current local time, UTC offset, DST status, and next DST transition for any IANA time zone identifier

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 opendata402-time-zone-current-time-091afdbc
```

Example prompt: What's the current local time in Tokyo right now, and is daylight saving time active there? Use the IANA zone Asia/Tokyo.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a trustworthy, IANA-database-derived current time for any global time zone, especially when DST awareness or next DST transition information is required. Prefer it over system clocks when the agent cannot trust its own runtime clock, or when scheduling logic must account for daylight saving transitions accurately.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA time zone string returns an error — must match the pattern like 'Region/City'
- Missing required 'tz' query parameter results in a 400-level error
- Ambiguous or deprecated zone names may not resolve correctly
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 error before the API call is processed

## How this service works

Current local time, UTC offset and daylight-saving status for any IANA time zone (e.g. Europe/Amsterdam, America/New_York, Asia/Tokyo), plus the next DST transition within a year. Computed from the IANA time zone database. Use it for scheduling across time zones and for agents that need a trustworthy clock.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the current local date and time in the requested time zone, the UTC offset (as hours or ISO offset string), whether daylight saving time is currently in effect, and the date/time of the next DST transition within the coming year (if applicable).
