World Time API — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is World Time API free to use?

World Time API is listed in our free catalogue, but it requires some form of authentication, so you will need to register before your first call. Providers frequently reserve higher limits and commercial use for paid plans.

Does World Time API need an API key?

World Time API requires some form of authentication. Check the provider's documentation for which scheme it expects.

Can I call World Time API from browser JavaScript?

We could not confirm CORS support for World Time API. Test it from a browser before relying on it client-side; if the request succeeds in curl but fails in the console, CORS is the reason.

Is World Time API still working?

Not at our last check on 2026-09-18. World Time API did not respond successfully, which is why it is marked as down here. This may be temporary; we re-check on a schedule and the badge above reflects the most recent run.

Is World Time API available over HTTPS?

Yes. World Time API serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
