## About

## What it does
Current Time returns the current date and time as an ISO string plus a Unix timestamp. Send an optional `tz` query parameter to get the values for a specific time zone; if you omit it, the service uses `UTC`.

Use Current Time when you need a consistent server-side clock in your app, job runner, or integration. It is useful for stamping events, scheduling tasks, comparing timestamps, and normalising time values across services without relying on a client device’s local clock.

The response includes `tz`, `iso`, and `unix`. `iso` gives you the current date-time in a standard string format, while `unix` gives you the same moment as an integer timestamp. That makes it easy to store, display, or pass the value into downstream systems that expect either human-readable or machine-friendly time data.

If your workflow needs a simple way to read the current time in a known zone, Current Time keeps the response minimal and predictable.
