World Time Zone Database

The present dataset provides all the timezones of the world and of all countries. Also, it include Day Light Savings time-zones. As the world has a lot of surface area, so the time at every point of the world has different values depending on the angle it gets from the sun. This is the reason why the world has been divided into 24 equal parts. Each of these parts is known as a time zone.

Dataset Structure

The example below is helpful to better understand the database structure:

  • Country Code: AE
  • Country Name: United Arab Emirates
  • Time Zone Name: Asia/Dubai
  • UTC: 4
  • DST: 4

Why were the time zones created?

For making the time zones the world was divided into different parts. The main purpose of this division is to provide an idea about the time in different parts of the world. This is because some people have to contact other people present in the other parts of the world. While the others have to travel by themselves. As time all over the world is different, people used to face different types of inconvenience. But as the time zones were introduced, people know the exact time in other parts of the world. This saved many from the inconvenience.

How can you calculate the time zone?

There are several methods of calculating the time zones. Here we will discuss some of them.

The GMT or Greenwich Mean Time:

This is a point in the world that is located at the exact center of the planet. This is used as a reference location to calculate the time zone for different locations.

The UTC or Universal time:

This is a method of calculating the time zone on the base of the rotation of the planet.

The International Atomic Time:

This is a method of calculating the time zone that is based on atomic clocks. Here we will provide you with the time zones of all the countries based on the GMT model. The time zones are mentioned in the table below.

How does the Database Hub work?

Below steps will show you how dataset hub works.

Account creation:

This is the step that includes creating your free account. Here you can import your CSV or JSON files for publishing your database. This importing and publishing procedure can only be done after you have created your account and database for free.

The connection part:

This is the step where you need to connect your application to the public databases, and you can fetch any data in a matter of minutes.

The collaboration part:

This is the part where you can visit the publishers’ page and there to open the issues and interesting projects. About these projects, you can also join different teams.

Data consumption:

This phase has all the databases generated automatically using the Rest and GraphQL. Now you can use these APIs to consume data.

What can I get for free?

All data here is free. For the pricing packages, you can visit the pricing page to get more information.

What is an API request?

Whenever you make a request to the database from the application to get any information using the SDKs and the APIs of the application, this whole process is called an API request.

Examples.

Some examples of the API request are listed below.

  • Login.
  • Save files.
  • Queries and other operations.

We hope this guide will help you understand everything you need to know about time zone.
