Free World Time API — no keys + CORS

January 23, 2026 | Leave a comment | Home

If you’ve ever battled, this is a handy reference.

This article explains a free world time API that needs no sign-ups or API keys, and it’s frontend-friendly via CORS.

What I liked:

- Timezone + DST handled

- an /ip endpoint for timezone auto-detect

- Simple read more GET requests

Useful for frontend countdowns. Cheers.
