# x402 Agent Tools – Current Time Lookup

> x402 Agent Tools – Current Time Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from api.gptshopltd.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Returns the current UTC time (and optionally timezone-adjusted time) as ISO 8601 and Unix timestamp, paid per-call via USDC microtransaction.

## 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 x402-agent-tools-current-time-lookup-1cf595f6
```

Example prompt: What's the current time right now in America/Chicago as an ISO timestamp and Unix epoch?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs a reliable, authoritative server-side timestamp without managing API keys or accounts — especially useful in autonomous agent workflows that need to timestamp events, check current time against schedules, or convert to a specific timezone, all paid trustlessly per-call via USDC microtransaction on Base or Solana.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IANA timezone string in 'tz' param returns an error or defaults to UTC
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance or x402 protocol error) results in 402 response and no data returned
- Network timeout if the API host is unreachable
- Malformed request body causes 400 Bad Request

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for AI agents. USDC on Base or Solana via x402 v2; no keys, no accounts.

## Output

A JSON object containing 'iso' (current datetime as ISO 8601 string, e.g. '2026-10-15T00:00:00.000Z') and 'unix' (current time as a Unix epoch integer in seconds). If a 'tz' query parameter is provided, the ISO time reflects the requested IANA timezone offset.
