How do I get an API key?

Create a direct account with email verification. The Free plan needs no card, and paid plans use the same direct account flow.

What are the rate limits?

The Free plan includes 10,000 requests per month. Paid plans include 250,000, 1,000,000, or 20,000,000 requests per month.

How fast is it really?

Requests are served from the nearest of 400+ Cloudflare edge locations, typically resolving in under 50ms end-to-end for users on residential connections.

How does TimeLogic handle availability?

We project 99.99% uptime from Cloudflare's global network and automatic failover. Shared plans do not include a contractual uptime SLA; ask support about Enterprise requirements.

Can responses be verified cryptographically?

Yes. Pass sign=true on supported routes and verify the signature against our published public key at /.well-known/time-api-public-key.

How is billing handled?

Direct plans are billed monthly through Stripe. The first partial month is monetary-prorated, while the full monthly API quota is available immediately; renewals occur on the 1st. RapidAPI billing remains separate.

quick start

A real request, then the response shape.

The tabs are executable GET requests. The response example uses the same fields returned by the API; current-time values change on every call.

TypeScript example

Make a World Time API request from npm.

Install the package, keep your key in an environment variable, and call the same endpoints documented in the API reference.

Browse SDKs and documentation

npm install @timelogic/direct-api

import { TimeApi, createConfiguration } from '@timelogic/direct-api';

const api = new TimeApi(createConfiguration({
  apiKey: process.env.TIMELOGIC_API_KEY!,
}));

const now = await api.getCurrentTime({ tz: 'America/New_York' });

why direct

The useful parts are infrastructure.

Edge latency

Route from the nearest Cloudflare location instead of adding another central hop.

Response integrity

A cryptographic signature protects the response body from tampering and helps confirm it came from TimeLogic. Verify it locally against the public signing key.

Timezone depth

IANA zones, DST transitions, coordinates, IP selectors, and business calendars.

Key control

Create, rotate, and revoke direct keys from one account surface.

two transports

Direct is the default. RapidAPI stays available.

Use the direct base URL for first-party keys, predictable auth, and account-level control. Existing RapidAPI consumers keep their marketplace transport and examples.
