Overview

WorldTimeAPI is a simple web service which returns the local-time for a given timezone as either JSON or plain-text. Some additional information is provided, such as whether that timezone is currently in Daylight Savings Time, when DST starts and ends, the UTC offset, etc.

A full list of timezones can be found here, and further details about this service can be found in the FAQs.

Examples

Note: by default, the API returns JSON. Adding a suffix of .txt to any API URL will return a plain-text response, which may be easier to parse on some systems.
