Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-shanghai-aafe8469
```

Example prompt: What's the current local time in Shanghai, including the timezone name, UTC offset, and whether daylight saving is active right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Shanghai-specific timezone metadata in a lightweight, no-API-key call — especially useful for scheduling tools, global dashboards, or agents that need to confirm DST status and UTC offset for China Standard Time without integrating a full timezone database service.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable or network timeout resulting in no response
- Payment failure if x402 USDC payment of $0.01 is not completed correctly
- Unexpected JSON structure if upstream data source changes format

## How this service works

Local time and time zone for Shanghai 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

Returns the IANA timezone name (e.g. Asia/Shanghai), the current UTC offset (e.g. +08:00), a boolean indicating whether daylight saving time is in effect, the date-time of the next DST transition if applicable, and the current local date-time in Shanghai.
