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.
