Backend Guide

Node.js World Time Integration

In serverless environments (like AWS Lambda or Vercel), the system clock is often set to UTC. Use our API to determine specific timezone offsets and DST rules on the fly for your Node.js backend.

NODE.JS

const axios = require('axios');

async function getServerTime() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get('https://time.now/developer/api/timezone/America/Los_Angeles');
    const { datetime, utc_offset, dst } = response.data;
    
    console.log(`LA Time: ${datetime}`);
    console.log(`Offset: ${utc_offset}`);
    console.log(`DST Active: ${dst}`);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Time fetch failed:', error.message);
  }
}

getServerTime();

Why use Time.Now for Backend?

Async/Await ready
JSON response parses automatically
High availability for microservices
