Public Time API

Description

This API provides the current timestamp in various formats, including text, JSON, and CSS custom properties. It supports different endpoints for specific use cases, such as returning UNIX timestamps or sending periodic updates via Server-Sent Events and WebSockets.

What can you use it for?

Build a live clock, a time-syncing dashboard, or a lightweight heartbeat for devices using simple HTTP, SSE, or WebSocket endpoints. You can fetch a single UNIX timestamp, embed time as a CSS variable, or subscribe to continuous updates for smooth real-time displays. The API is public and shows example usage with no authentication needed, so you can try it instantly. If you need commercial guarantees or quotas, check with the provider first.
