World Time API

World Time looks up the current local time, date, and timezone for any city. Search by city name to get matching locations with country codes, IANA timezone identifiers, and formatted times in 12-hour and 24-hour formats.

The World Time API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate world time functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready world time capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
