## 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-utc-time-lookup-b5f98d36
```

Example prompt: What is the current UTC time right now, and what day of the week is it? Also give me the local time in America/Chicago.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an authoritative current timestamp without maintaining your own clock — especially useful in serverless or stateless agent contexts where system time may be unreliable. It is ideal when you also need the weekday name or time zone–converted local time in one call. Prefer it over general-purpose world-clock APIs when you are already using other Saylor Innovations x402 utilities and want consistent micro-payment billing.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid IANA time zone string returns an error or null local field
- Network or service unavailability returns a non-200 status
- Missing or malformed query parameter may cause the tz conversion to be skipped silently

## How this service works

Current UTC time as unix seconds, ISO 8601 and weekday, with optional time zone

## Output

A JSON object containing: utc (ISO 8601 string of current UTC time), unix (Unix timestamp in seconds), unix_ms (Unix timestamp in milliseconds), weekday (e.g. 'Monday'), and optionally local (time in the requested IANA zone) and offset_note (human-readable UTC offset description).
