Timezone API

An IANA zone, offset, DST, and what's next.

Look up an IANA timezone like America/New_York or UTC. You get id, abbreviation, offset, whether DST is on, a friendly name, and next_dst when a transition exists.

Defaults to now. Pass ?at= with an ISO timestamp for a specific moment. URL-encode / in the path (America%2FNew_York), or use the multi-segment path form.
