## 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-info-48cae359
```

Example prompt: What's the current local time and timezone info for Mumbai — I need the IANA zone name, UTC offset, and whether daylight saving is active right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to resolve a human-readable place name directly to full timezone metadata including IANA zone, UTC offset, DST flag, and abbreviation in a single call. Prefer it over manual timezone databases when you want a managed, up-to-date lookup without maintaining your own data. Best for scheduling agents, calendar tools, and display layers that need structured timezone data from a natural place name input.

## Known failure modes

- Ambiguous or misspelled place name returns an error or incorrect timezone
- Place name not recognized returns a 404 or empty result
- Network timeout on the lookup service
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request
- Place name resolves to multiple candidate regions causing ambiguity

## How this service works

Timezone for a place: IANA zone name, current local time, UTC offset, whether daylight saving is in effect, and the abbreviation, resolved from the place name. Schedule across regions correctly. $0.01 per lookup.

## Output

Returns the IANA timezone zone name (e.g. 'America/New_York'), the current local time at that location, the UTC offset as a signed hours value, a boolean indicating whether daylight saving time is currently in effect, and the timezone abbreviation (e.g. 'EDT').
