API also calculates time differences from different timezones, city or coordinate locations." --- # Timezone API and IP to Timezone Lookup IPGeolocation's free Timezone API and Time conversion API provides date and time related information such as current time, date in various formats, week, month, year, time in unix timestamp, UTC/GMT offset and day light saving time from timezone name, any IPv4 or IPv6 address or geolocation coordinates in JSON and XML format over secure HTTPS connection. The API also calculates precise time differences in hours and minutes between two locations using timezone, coordinates, or city.

It also covers timezone offset values, daylight saving details like start and end times, any gaps or overlaps, and whether DST is active. Optionally, this data can be enriched with geolocation information when IP-based timezone detection is requested. **Response Preview** ```json { "time_zone": { "name": "Australia/Lord_Howe", "offset": 10.5, "offset_with_dst": 11, "date": "2026-02-25", "date_time": "2026-02-25 21:04:24", "date_time_txt": "Wednesday, February 25, 2026 21:04:24", "date_time_wti": "Wed, 25 Feb 2026 21:04:24 +1100", "date_time_ymd": "2026-02-25T21:04:24+1100", "current_time": "2026-02-25 21:04:24.099+1100", "current_time_unix": 1772013864.099, "time_24": "21:04:24", "time_12": "09:04:24 PM", "week": 9, "month": 2, "year": 2026, "year_abbr": "26", "current_tz_abbreviation": "LHDT", "current_tz_full_name": "Lord Howe Daylight Time", "standard_tz_abbreviation": "LHST", "standard_tz_full_name": "Lord Howe Standard Time", "is_dst": true, "dst_savings": 0.5, "dst_exists": true, "dst_tz_abbreviation": "LHDT", "dst_tz_full_name": "Lord Howe Daylight Time", "dst_start": { "utc_time": "2025-10-04 TIME 15:30", "duration": "+0.50H", "gap": true, "date_time_after": "2025-10-05 TIME 02:30", "date_time_before": "2025-10-05 TIME 02:00", "overlap": false }, "dst_end": { "utc_time": "2026-04-04 TIME 15:00", "duration": "-0.50H", "gap": false, "date_time_after": "2026-04-05 TIME 01:30", "date_time_before": "2026-04-05 TIME 02:00", "overlap": true } } } ``` ## Geo Location Module When Time Zone API is called without any parameter, with the IP address or with the location address, it returns geolocation information for the concerned location, along with the Time Zone Data. **Response Preview** ```json "location": { "continent_code": "NA", "continent_name": "North America", "country_code2": "US", "country_code3": "USA", "country_name": "United States", "country_name_official": "United States of America", "is_eu": false, "state_prov": "California", "state_code": "US-CA", "district": "Santa Clara", "city": "Mountain View", "zipcode": "94043-1351", "latitude": "37.42240", "longitude": "-122.08421" } ``` ## Get Airport details from IATA or ICAO codes The Time Zone API can retrieve detailed airport information along with time zone data using IATA or ICAO codes.
