Time Zone by Location API
Introduction
BigDataCloud’s Time Zone by Location API is a useful API that takes latitude/longitude coordinates as input and provides detailed Time Zone information, such as offsets for UTC and daylight savings time.
By utilising this Time Zone API, you can develop features to display time zone IDs and local times for your user’s locations and provide time-based data corresponding to the user's location on websites or mobile applications.
Additionally, daylight saving time information from the API can be utilised to automatically update your application's time zone data, ensuring accuracy and precision.
