Backend Guide

C# & .NET World Clock API

In the .NET ecosystem, verifying the time against an external source is a common requirement for financial applications and logging services. Use `HttpClient` to pull trusted time data easily.

CSHARP

using System;
    using System.Net.Http;
    using System.Text.Json;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;

    class Program {
        static async Task Main() {
            using HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            string url = "https://time.now/developer/api/timezone/America/Chicago";
        
            string json = await client.GetStringAsync(url);
            using JsonDocument doc = JsonDocument.Parse(json);
            JsonElement root = doc.RootElement;
        
            Console.WriteLine($"Chicago Time: {root.GetProperty("datetime")}");
            Console.WriteLine($"Is DST: {root.GetProperty("dst")}");
        }
    }
