Public World Time API — no API keys for frontend

January 23, 2026 | Leave a comment | Home

If you ever fought, this might help.

Here’s a DEV write-up on a public world time API that works without accounts or API keys, check here and it’s CORS-enabled.

What I liked:

- DST + offsets included

- IP-based timezone detection endpoint

- Simple GET requests

Useful for frontend countdowns. Happy coding.
