The Timezone by Coordinates API is a powerful tool that enables developers to easily retrieve the timezone, Daylight Saving Time (DST) offset, and UTC offset of a location based on its latitude and longitude coordinates. This information can be invaluable for applications that require accurate timekeeping, such as scheduling software, travel apps, and weather services.
The API uses the latitude and longitude coordinates of a location to determine its timezone. It then returns a response containing the timezone identifier, UTC offset, and DST offset for that location. The timezone identifier is a string that uniquely identifies the timezone, such as "America/Los_Angeles" for Pacific Standard Time in the United States. The UTC offset is the difference between the location's local time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), expressed in hours. The DST offset is the additional offset applied during Daylight Saving Time, expressed in hours.
Using the Timezone by Coordinates API is simple and straightforward. Developers can make a GET request to the API endpoint, passing in the latitude and longitude coordinates of the location they want to query. The API then returns a JSON response containing the timezone information for that location.
One of the primary benefits of the Timezone by Coordinates API is that it eliminates the need for developers to manually calculate timezones and offsets based on latitude and longitude coordinates. This can be a time-consuming and error-prone process, especially for locations that observe DST. By using the API, developers can be confident that they are getting accurate and reliable timezone information for any location in the world.
The Timezone by Coordinates API can be used in a variety of applications. For example, travel apps can use the API to display the local time and weather for a user's current location, or for a destination they are planning to visit. Scheduling software can use the API to ensure that appointments and events are displayed in the correct timezone for each participant. Weather services can use the API to display weather information for a specific location based on its time zone.
In summary, the Timezone by Coordinates API is a powerful tool that provides developers with accurate and reliable timezone information for any location in the world. Its ease of use and flexibility make it a valuable asset for a wide range of applications.
Pass latitude, longitude, and timestamp and receive the time zone
Travel apps: Travel apps can use the API to determine the timezone of a user's current location or a destination they are planning to visit. This information can be used to display the local time and weather, as well as provide recommendations for activities and events based on the time of day.
Scheduling software: Scheduling software can use the API to ensure that appointments and events are displayed in the correct timezone for each participant. This can help to avoid confusion and scheduling conflicts, especially for teams or organizations that operate across multiple time zones.
E-commerce: E-commerce sites can use the API to display delivery times and dates based on the timezone of the customer's shipping address. This can help to provide more accurate delivery estimates and improve customer satisfaction.
Financial services: Financial services companies can use the API to accurately timestamp financial transactions and to comply with regulatory requirements related to timekeeping and reporting.
Weather services: Weather services can use the API to display weather information for a specific location based on its time zone. This can help users to plan outdoor activities or travel, as well as provide insights into weather patterns and trends in different regions.

The Get Timezone endpoint returns timezone information based on latitude and longitude coordinates. The response includes the timezone identifier, UTC offset, and Daylight Saving Time (DST) offset.
The key fields in the response data are `timeZoneId` (the identifier for the timezone), `rawOffset` (the UTC offset in seconds), and `dstOffset` (the additional offset during Daylight Saving Time in seconds).
The response data is structured in JSON format, containing key-value pairs. For example, a typical response might look like: `{"dstOffset":0,"rawOffset":-28800,"timeZoneId":"America/Vancouver","timeZoneName":"Pacific Standard Time"}`.
The Get Timezone endpoint accepts latitude and longitude as parameters. Optionally, a timestamp can be included to account for Daylight Saving Time adjustments.
The endpoint provides information on the timezone identifier, UTC offset, and DST offset for any given geographic coordinates, allowing applications to accurately reflect local time.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates from reliable geographic and timezone databases, ensuring that changes in timekeeping practices, such as DST adjustments, are reflected promptly.
Typical use cases include displaying local times in travel apps, ensuring correct scheduling in multi-timezone environments, and providing accurate delivery estimates in e-commerce applications.
Users can utilize the returned data by integrating it into their applications to display local times, adjust scheduling features, or provide location-specific information based on the timezone data received.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the worldβs most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]
Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the βX-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remainingβ field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the βX-Zyla-RateLimit-Limitβ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.
The βX-Zyla-RateLimit-Resetβ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
To give you the opportunity to experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost. This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.
After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, itβs important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.
Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
