# Saylor Innovations x402 UTC Time API

> Saylor Innovations x402 UTC Time API is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Returns the current UTC time along with Unix timestamp (seconds and milliseconds), ISO 8601 string, and weekday name, with optional IANA timezone conversion.

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-x402-utc-time-api-7044940c
```

Example prompt: What's the current UTC time right now, and can you also show me what that is in the America/Chicago timezone?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, authoritative current UTC time lookup with optional IANA timezone conversion in a single paid API call via the x402 micropayment protocol. Ideal for agents that need reliable timestamping, timezone-aware scheduling checks, or Unix epoch values without managing a time server. Prefer over free alternatives when micropayment-gated reliability and x402 payment flow compatibility is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone string in ?tz= parameter may return an error or null local/tz fields
- Payment not processed (x402 protocol failure) results in 402 status and no data returned
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a 5xx error

## 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 UTC datetime string), unix (Unix epoch in seconds), unix_ms (Unix epoch in milliseconds), weekday (full weekday name, e.g. 'Monday'), and optionally local (ISO 8601 datetime in the requested IANA timezone) and tz (the timezone string provided).
