# orbit Geo & Time — World Time & Timezone Conversion

> orbit Geo & Time — World Time & Timezone Conversion is a paid API for AI agents from orbit-geo.orbit-builder.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-30).

Returns current local time, weekday, UTC offset, and DST flag for up to 10 IANA time zones, with optional conversion of a given local time across all requested zones

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 orbit-geo-time-world-time-timezone-conversion-2d625713
```

Example prompt: What are the current local times in America/New_York, Europe/London, Asia/Tokyo, and Australia/Sydney, and can you also convert my 9am EST meeting time from America/New_York into all of those zones?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative IANA-database-backed timezone data, current DST status, or multi-zone time conversion in a single call for up to 10 zones. It is ideal for scheduling assistants, world clocks, and meeting-time coordination across global teams. Prefer it over manual UTC arithmetic when DST accuracy and IANA zone identifiers are required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone name returns an error or omits that zone
- Malformed time string (wrong format) may cause conversion to fall back to example input or return an error
- Requesting more than 10 zones may result in truncation or rejection
- No parameters provided causes the endpoint to run with its built-in example input rather than returning an error
- Payment failure (x402) results in a 402 response before any data is returned

## How this service works

Location and time data for agents: weather now + 7-day forecast (MET Norway), geocoding and reverse geocoding (OpenStreetMap Nominatim), sunrise/sunset, world time-zone conversion and public holidays (Nager.Date). Real open data fetched at call time, attribution included. $0.001 per call. By orbit-builder.

## Output

A JSON object containing an instant_utc timestamp and an array of zone entries, each with the timezone name, local datetime string, UTC offset (e.g. '+05:00'), and a boolean DST flag indicating whether daylight saving time is active.
