If you want to do it on the server side, you can do this with PHP:

$url = "https://ipsidekick.com/json";
$result = file_get_contents($url);
$json = json_decode($result, true);
print("It's " . $json["gmtOffset"] . " at " . $json["timeZoneName"]);

Note that this is synchronous.

Alternatively, if you can do it on the client side. You can use this with jQuery or equivalent:

$.get("https://ipsidekick.com/json", function(response) {
  console.log(response.ip +
    " It's " + response.gmtOffset +
    " from " + response.timeZoneName);
});

Disclaimer: I run IP Sidekick.
