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 saylor-innovations-data-desk-timezone-local-time-lookup-4531f2d1
```

Example prompt: What time is it right now in Lisbon — give me the local date, time, day of the week, and whether daylight saving is active? Use the Europe/Lisbon timezone.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the current local time, date, or DST status for a specific IANA timezone or geographic coordinate. It is ideal for scheduling assistants, global meeting planners, travel apps, or any agent that needs to answer 'what time is it there right now' questions without maintaining its own timezone database.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone string returns an error
- Missing required 'tz' query parameter (or neither tz nor lat/lon provided) results in a bad request
- Ambiguous or unsupported lat/lon values may fail to resolve to a timezone
- Payment not received or insufficient funds returns a 402 response

## How this service works

Current local time, date, weekday and DST status for any IANA timezone or lat/lon, e.g. what time is it in Lisbon right now

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the timezone name, current local datetime (ISO format), date (YYYY-MM-DD), time, day of the week, DST active boolean, and data source attribution.
