> Timezone Toolkit – TZ Offset Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from timezone-toolkit.agishub.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns the UTC offset, offset in minutes, timezone name, and DST status for a given timezone identifier.

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-toolkit-tz-offset-lookup-1e0d966d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the current UTC offset and DST status for Asia/Kolkata? I need the offset in minutes too.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, authoritative UTC offset and DST status for a known IANA timezone name without performing any full date conversion. It is ideal for enriching scheduling data, displaying world clocks, or validating timezone offsets before constructing calendar events. Prefer it over a full date-math endpoint when you only need offset metadata rather than a converted timestamp.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone identifier returns an error response
- Missing timezone parameter results in a 400-level error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Timezone converter, world clock, date math & meeting scheduler for AI agents. Pay-per-call x402 endpoints (USDC on Base).

## Output

A JSON object containing the IANA timezone name, the UTC offset as a formatted string (e.g. '+05:30'), the offset expressed in whole minutes (e.g. 330), and a boolean indicating whether the timezone is currently observing daylight saving time.

## Response schema (JSON Schema)
