# Timezone Intelligence

> Timezone Intelligence is a paid API for AI agents from time.24klabs.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns UTC offsets, DST status, and transition dates for a given timezone or location

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://time.24klabs.ai/timezone
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-13
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/timezone-intelligence-68ea7c12
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_f78hupMpEG5FHJJLcL1vN

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-intelligence-68ea7c12 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current UTC offset for America/New_York, and is daylight saving time active right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need precise UTC offset data, DST status, or transition dates for a specific IANA timezone — especially when scheduling across regions or validating user-submitted timezone strings. Prefer it over full temporal context endpoints when you only need timezone/DST data, not broader calendar system context.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized timezone identifier returns an error
- Ambiguous location strings may not resolve to a unique timezone
- Requests without a valid timezone parameter may return a validation error
- Payment failure (x402) blocks the call entirely

## How this service works

Timezone intelligence — offsets, DST, transitions

## Output

Returns structured timezone data including the UTC offset in hours/minutes, whether DST is currently active, the start and end dates of DST transitions for the relevant period, and the canonical timezone name.
