## 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-cape-town-a9bc542f
```

Example prompt: What's the current local time in Cape Town, and is daylight saving time in effect there right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Cape Town-specific timezone data without setting up an API key — ideal for lightweight, one-off lookups in scheduling workflows, event timestamping, or meeting coordination. Prefer it over general timezone APIs when cost simplicity ($0.01/call, no auth) matters more than bulk querying.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailability returns a non-200 HTTP error
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Malformed response if upstream time data source is unreachable
- No DST transition date returned if the timezone does not observe daylight saving (South Africa does not currently observe DST, so DST fields may be null)

## How this service works

Local time and time zone for Cape Town right now: IANA zone name, UTC offset, whether daylight saving is in effect and when it next changes, and the current local date-time. Meeting scheduling across zones without an API key. $0.01 per call.

## Output

A JSON object containing: IANA timezone name (e.g. Africa/Johannesburg), current UTC offset (e.g. +02:00), a boolean indicating whether DST is currently active, the datetime of the next DST transition (if applicable), and the current local date-time in Cape Town.
