Timezone Lookup API - Get Timezone from IP and More

The Timezone Lookup API allows you to retrieve timezone from IP address, location address, coordinates, timezone name, IATA Codes, ICAO Codes or UN/LO CODE. This API delivers a wide range of date and time information, including the current time, date in multiple formats, week, month, year, and Unix timestamp.

Get the timezone information by following ways:

  1. From timezonename
  2. From address (preferably city and country)
  3. From location coordinates (latitude and longitude)
  4. From IP address
  5. From IATA code
  6. From ICAO code
  7. From UN/LO Code

IP to Timezone API

Use our IP to timezone API to get timezone from IPv4 or IPv6 address by passing the ip query parameter. The response will include both timezone and geolocation details. In this scenario, you can also specify an additional "lang" parameter to receive geolocation information in multiple languages.

Timezone Information for Calling Machine IP

Call the API without passing any location, coordinates, or IP address. It will use the calling machine's IP address to return the ip timezone information.

curl 'https://api.apifreaks.com/v1.0/geolocation/timezone?apiKey=API-KEY'

Pricing

To use the TimeZone API, API credits are required. Charges apply only for successful queries, defined by a 2xx status code. If a request results in a 4xx or 5xx status code, no credits will be deducted, and any credits already charged will be refunded.

For each successful request, 1 credit will be charged for timezone lookup. Utilize the Credits Usage API to efficiently monitor your recent consumption of both one-off and subscription credits. This API provides a streamlined way to track and manage your credit usage, ensuring you stay informed about your remaining balance and can optimize your resource allocation effectively.
