How this service works
Format an ISO 8601 datetime using a strftime pattern.
Output
Returns the input ISO 8601 datetime string formatted according to the provided strftime pattern — e.g. '2025-06-15T14:30:00Z' with pattern '%B %d, %Y' yields 'June 15, 2025'.
Example use cases
Readable report timestamp header
“I have a log entry timestamped '2025-01-20T09:15:00Z' — can you format it as 'January 20, 2025 09:15 AM' using the strftime pattern '%B %d, %Y %I:%M %p'?”
Day-of-week display for scheduling
“What day of the week is '2025-12-25T00:00:00Z'? Format it with '%A, %d %B %Y' so I can show it to users in a calendar UI.”
Short date label for file naming
“Format '2025-07-04T18:00:00Z' using '%Y%m%d' so I can use it as a compact date suffix in a filename.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.agentindex.world/time/format?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need server-side, deterministic strftime-based datetime formatting without relying on client-side locale libraries. Ideal for agents that need to display timestamps in user-facing content, generate filenames, or produce consistently formatted date labels across environments where local timezone/locale libraries may not be available.
Side effects
- Invalid ISO 8601 datetime string — returns error indicating unparseable datetime
- Invalid or unrecognized strftime pattern tokens — may return error or pass them through literally
- Missing required parameters (pattern or datetime) — returns validation error
- Edge cases like leap years or timezone offsets may behave unexpectedly depending on server handling
