Why connect themThe Timezone Lookup API in GitHub.
GitHub is where developers build software together. Connecting APIs to GitHub enables automated code workflows, intelligent issue management, and CI/CD enhancements. Supercharge your development processes with external data.
What you can buildWorkflows worth wiring.
Automatically validate URLs in README files for broken links
Check DNS configurations when deploying to new environments
Verify SSL certificates as part of deployment pipelines
Create issues automatically when external monitoring detects problems
TemplatesReady-made ideas.
Scheduled daily Fetch timezone → commit file updateUpdate a timezone reference file in a repo
Commit a daily snapshot of timezone, time24, date, dst, and timezone_offset for tracked cities to a JSON file in your repo.
Scheduled daily Fetch timezone → create issue if DST approachingCreate issues for DST-related schedule changes
Create a GitHub issue when dst_start or dst_end is approaching for timezones your app supports, linking to dst_name details.
SetupConnect it in a few steps.
Set up with Zapier
- 1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with GitHub as the trigger app and "New issue" as the event. Connect your account.
- 2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the Timezone Lookup API, and map your trigger data to the request.
- 3
Send it back. Add a second GitHub action for "Create issue" and map the returned fields (like timezone) into it.
- 4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.
Set up with Make
- 1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a GitHub module set to "New issue". Authenticate your account.
- 2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/timezonelookup with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
- 3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a GitHub module for "Create issue". Map fields like data.timezone into place.
- 4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.
Set up with n8n
- 1
Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a GitHub trigger node for "New issue" and connect your credentials.
- 2
Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/timezonelookup using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
- 3
Map with expressions. Add a GitHub node for "Create issue" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.timezone }}.
- 4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
