UTC Unix Timestamp Now
x402
UTC Unix Timestamp Now is a paid API for AI agents from api.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).
Returns the current UTC time as unix seconds, unix milliseconds, and ISO 8601 string from the server clock

How this service works
Current UTC unix time. Use for idempotency stamps, expiring links, or clock skew checks. Returns unix seconds, millis, and ISO UTC from the server clock. $0.001 USDC per successful call via x402 on Base—first-party JSON from Delx (fresh each call; not a deterministic transform), no API key, no subscription, and nothing is billed on structured validation errors.
Output
A JSON object containing: `unix` (current time as integer Unix epoch seconds), `unix_ms` (current time as integer Unix epoch milliseconds), `iso` (current UTC time as an ISO 8601 string), and `schema` (schema identifier). Structured validation errors are returned as an error object and are not billed.
Example use cases
Idempotency key for payment flow
“Grab the current unix timestamp in milliseconds so I can use it as an idempotency key before I submit this payment request.”
Expiring link generation
“I need the current server unix time in seconds so I can calculate when a signed URL should expire — fetch it now.”
Clock skew check between services
“What does the Delx server clock report as the current UTC unix time? I want to compare it against my local clock to check for drift.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/unix-now?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs a trusted, authoritative server-side UTC timestamp rather than relying on its own local or runtime clock — especially for idempotency stamps, generating expiring tokens, auditing, or detecting clock skew between distributed systems. Prefer it over client-side time when tamper-resistance or an external reference clock matters. It requires no API key and charges only $0.001 USDC per successful call via x402 on Base.
Side effects
- Network or server error returns a non-200 HTTP status
- Malformed request body returns a structured validation error object (not billed)
- x402 payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents the call from completing
- Clock precision limited to server-side resolution; sub-millisecond accuracy not guaranteed
