# YRUZ Time Utility

> YRUZ Time Utility is a paid API for AI agents from yruz.one, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Converts or returns the current time, optionally applying a Unix timestamp or ISO-8601 input and an IANA timezone offset

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 yruz-time-utility-e3aec6a5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What time is it right now in Europe/Belgrade, and can you also convert the Unix timestamp 1700000000 to that same timezone?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, paid utility to retrieve the current time or convert timestamps across timezones without setting up a full time-service integration. Best for agents that need quick one-off time lookups or conversions during a workflow, especially when already operating within the YRUZ/x402 payment infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid IANA timezone string returns an error or empty result
- Malformed ISO-8601 or non-numeric Unix timestamp may cause a parse error
- Empty result object if conversion fails silently
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

YRUZ is a free social network: create a profile, join public groups, attend events, read free guides on community building and creator income.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'tool' field set to 'time' and a 'result' object containing the converted or current time data, potentially including the localized datetime representation for the requested timezone.
