Correct date and time handling, without the usual pain
GetNowDate is a modern, edge-based API designed to simplify the handling of dates and times across applications. It addresses common pain points such as inconsistent timezone behavior, formatting issues, and time calculations by offering a unified, easy-to-use interface. The service allows developers to format dates, convert time zones, and calculate time differences with precision, while also helping avoid subtle bugs and duplicated logic that often arise in real-world projects.
The API is built with performance and security in mind, using account-based access with simple registration via favorite providers. It supports request signing, IP or origin restrictions, and includes a free monthly limit with paid plans for higher usage. GetNowDate ensures accurate, consistent time data, making it ideal for applications that require reliable time management without the overhead of complex setup.
GetNowDate operates as an edge API, delivering accurate date and time information based on the user's request. Developers can access the API using a workspace ID, which is bound to approved domains or IP addresses for security. Each request is processed with precision-aware caching, ensuring that responses are up-to-date and efficient.
The API provides various endpoints for different use cases, such as retrieving the current date, calculating time differences, or generating countdowns. Users can override locale and timezone settings when necessary, but by default, the API follows the request's context. Timer endpoints are signed and plan-gated, ensuring secure and controlled access to advanced features.
