Get current time with a phone number

Question

I want to write an RoR mobile app which gives me the current time at the country for a given phone number, with its area code. Is there a good api for this?

Answer 1

If you are OK with adding Javascript to your project, then you may want to try ChronoMouse.js, which will help get the current time, GMT offset, time zone name, location, capital city, daylight savings laws, or daylight savings status for any US/Canada area code, or country code.

For country codes, the info is based off of the capital city.

For example:

console.log( getLocalInfo('+49').time.display );

// 15:07

For more examples and documentation, see www.chronomouse.com.
