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-time-zone-utility-d67056ab
```

Example prompt: What time is it right now in Tokyo, and what would 2026-09-24T15:30 in America/New_York be when converted to Asia/Tokyo?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, DST-aware time zone conversion or current-time lookup for any IANA-named zone, especially in agentic workflows where a simple GET call with query parameters is preferable to a heavier scheduling library. Ideal for normalizing datetimes to UTC or localizing UTC timestamps for display.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA time zone string returns an error
- Malformed datetime string (not ISO 8601 format) causes a parsing failure
- Missing required query parameters returns a 400-level error
- Payment not attached or insufficient USDC balance causes a 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Time zones — now anywhere, or DST-aware conversion — Real-world Data

## Output

A JSON object containing the UTC equivalent of the input time and/or the converted local time in the target IANA time zone, accounting for daylight saving time offsets.
