What time zone am I in?
Find your time zone and its next scheduled daylight saving change, if any.
Your coordinates are sent to ParseAPI for the lookup.
Use it in your app
GET /point?lat=39.74&lon=-104.99
GET /time/America/Denver?deep=true
Point returns the IANA timezone and administrative location. Pass that zone to Time with deep=true for the local clock and next scheduled offset change. This tool makes those two calls, each using one pooled request on every plan.
QUESTIONS
- How does it know my zone?
- With your permission, your browser sends coordinates to ParseAPI to find the time zone at that point. Those coordinates are included in request logs.
- Why not just use my clock?
- Your device clock reflects its settings, not the ground you are standing on. Near a zone border, after travel, or on a misconfigured machine the two disagree.
- What is the daylight saving line?
- The next scheduled clock change for your zone, straight from the IANA rules. Zones that never change simply do not show one.
- Can I do this from code?
- Yes. GET /point?lat={lat}&lon={lon} returns timezone, country, state, and district. Pass the returned zone to /time/{timezone}?deep=true for local time and the next clock change. Each call uses one pooled request on every plan.
