SECTION 01

❓ What It Does

The UN/LOCODE Timezone API lets you instantly retrieve:

  • 🕒Timezone name and UTC offset
  • 🌍City, region, and country information
  • 📍Latitude/longitude coordinates
  • 🔁"Last updated" timestamps for data freshness
  • 📊Confidence score and data source metadata
  • 🔎Search for nearest UN/LOCODEs by coordinates
SECTION 02

🏗️ Built for Real-World Systems

This API is ideal for any product that needs correct local time or position data at a specific logistics location, including:

🚢 Logistics & Transportation

  • Freight forwarding platforms
  • Port and terminal management systems
  • Maritime AIS and vessel tracking software
  • Airline and air cargo scheduling tools

📦 Supply Chain & Operations

  • Supply chain visibility dashboards
  • TMS / WMS platforms
  • ERP integrations for shipment events
  • Global order tracking systems

📊 Data & Analytics

  • Data enrichment pipelines
  • ETL jobs normalizing shipment data
  • BI tools correlating global events
  • SLA and performance reporting

If your system answers questions like "What local time did this event happen at this port?" — this API fits perfectly.

SECTION 03

🔁 Always Up to Date

UN/LOCODEs evolve. Ports open, move, merge, or get deprecated. Timezones shift due to daylight savings and regulatory changes.

Our backend continuously monitors:

  • Official UN/LOCODE publications
  • IANA timezone database updates
  • Geospatial and authoritative reference sources

Updates are processed automatically, versioned, and made transparent via metadata — giving you confidence in your data.
