## 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 timezone-current-time-93b54544 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current local time and timezone in London, United Kingdom right now — including whether daylight saving is active?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the current local time and full timezone metadata (name, abbreviation, DST, UTC offset) for a named city or coordinates in a single call. Prefer this over a convert-time endpoint when you don't have a source time to convert — just a location you want the current time for.

## Known failure modes

- Ambiguous or misspelled location name returns an error or resolves to wrong place
- Coordinates outside valid range (-90 to 90 lat, -180 to 180 lon) cause a validation error
- Missing required 'location' field returns a 400 bad request
- Unsupported or very obscure location may return no data
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Current Time

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the current datetime string, latitude and longitude of the resolved location, GMT offset in hours, full timezone name (e.g. 'British Summer Time'), IANA timezone location (e.g. 'Europe/London'), timezone abbreviation (e.g. 'BST'), DST flag, and the originally requested location string.

## Example request

```json
{
 "location": "London, United Kingdom"
}
```
