What the World Time API Does
One endpoint. The current time, UTC offset, and DST status for any IANA timezone name.
Structured output
Every response includes the resolved timezone name, its current UTC offset, an ISO 8601 timestamp for the current local time, and whether daylight saving time is currently active.
{
"timezone": "America/New_York",
"offset": "-04:00",
"current_time": "2026-07-27T14:32:10-04:00",
"is_dst": true
}
Simple to integrate
One required value: the IANA timezone name, passed directly in the URL path. A single GET request returns everything a scheduling or logging tool needs.
