Timezone from Coordinates API

Overview

The Timezone from Coordinates API converts geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) into IANA timezone identifiers. Simply provide a location's coordinates and receive the standardized timezone name used by that location.

What You Get

The API returns timezone information for the given coordinates:

Timezone ID - IANA timezone identifier (e.g., "America/New_York", "Asia/Aden")
UTC Offset - Current UTC offset for the timezone
DST Status - Whether daylight saving time is currently in effect

Coordinate Format

Latitude - Decimal degrees from -90 to 90 (negative = South)
Longitude - Decimal degrees from -180 to 180 (negative = West)

Use Cases

Converting GPS coordinates to local timezone
Scheduling applications with location awareness
Travel and booking platforms
IoT devices reporting location-based time
Analytics systems requiring timezone normalization
