Eztz

Ruby wrapper for the Google Time Zone API

• Ruby >= 2.7

Other versions of Ruby may work, but the gem is tested against the above versions.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

 gem 'eztz'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install eztz

An API key is required to access the Google Time Zone API. You can create a new API key from the Google Cloud Console.

# Set your API key
Eztz.api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'

# Pass location coordinates as a string
$ Eztz.timezone(location: '29.65,-95.28')

=> #<Eztz::TimeZoneResponse:0x007fe71ba2df78 @timestamp=1488834591, @dst_offset=0, @error_message=nil, @raw_offset=-21600, @status="OK", @id="America/Chicago", @name="Central Standard Time">

or

# Pass location coordinates as an array
$ Eztz.timezone(location: [29.65, -95.28])

=> #<Eztz::TimeZoneResponse:0x007fe71ba2df78 @timestamp=1488834591, @dst_offset=0, @error_message=nil, @raw_offset=-21600, @status="OK", @id="America/Chicago", @name="Central Standard Time">

Optional parameters include:

• timestamp: specifies the desired time as seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC. The Google Maps Time Zone API uses the timestamp to determine whether or not Daylight Savings should be applied. Times before 1970 can be expressed as negative values. Defaults to the current time.
• language: The language in which to return results Defaults to 'en'. A list of supported languages can be found at developers.google.com/maps/faq#languagesupport
