What timezone format should I use?
Use IANA timezone identifiers like "America/New_York", "Europe/London", or "Asia/Tokyo". These are the standard format used by most programming languages.
Does it handle daylight saving time?
Yes, the API automatically accounts for DST. The dst field indicates if DST is currently active, and dst_start/dst_end show transition dates.
Can I get time for multiple timezones at once?
Each request returns data for one timezone. Make parallel requests to get multiple timezones efficiently.
What is the timezone_offset field?
The UTC offset in minutes. For example, -300 means UTC-5 (5 hours behind UTC). This changes when DST is active.
How accurate is the time?
Our servers are synchronized with NTP time sources. The returned time is accurate to within a second, though network latency adds minor delay.
Can I convert between timezones?
Get the current time for both timezones and use the unix timestamp for accurate conversion. The unix field is timezone-independent.
