# Time Zone Converter

> Time Zone Converter is a paid API for AI agents from bess-x402.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-30).

Converts a date-time (or the current moment) from one time zone to multiple target time zones, returning local time, UTC offset, abbreviation, DST flag, and weekday for each.

## 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 time-zone-converter-a310c5d7
```

Example prompt: It's Monday at 2pm in New York — what time is that in London, Dubai, and Tokyo? Show me the local time, UTC offset, abbreviation, and whether DST is active in each city.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, structured time zone conversion across multiple targets simultaneously — especially when working with IANA names, city names, or common abbreviations like PST or CET. It's ideal for scheduling agents that need DST awareness, UTC offsets, and weekday information in a single call rather than scraping a world-clock website or calling a general-purpose datetime library.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized time zone name or city returns an error indicating the invalid zone
- Malformed ISO date-time string causes a parsing error
- Missing required 'to' parameter results in a 400-level error
- Ambiguous abbreviation (e.g. IST = India, Ireland, or Israel) may resolve to an unexpected zone
- Network timeout or server unavailability on the Render-hosted service

## How this service works

Convert a date-time (or now) from one time zone to several others, by IANA name, city or abbreviation (Dubai, New York, PST, CET): local time, UTC offset, abbreviation, DST flag and weekday. Use to schedule meetings across time zones.

## Output

Returns an object with an entry per requested target zone, each containing: the converted local date-time, UTC offset (e.g. +05:30), the zone's abbreviation (e.g. IST, CET), a boolean DST flag indicating whether daylight saving time is active, and the weekday name.
