Question

Is there a way to get the actual date and time of the country in Javascript even if the device time is inaccurate?

Say:

1. I am in Austin Texas, US (GMT-6) and it is Jan 27, 2021, 9:20pm
2. I change the device date and time Feb 1, 2021, 6:03pm
3. Using Javascript, how do I get the actual date and time in Mumbai India?

Answer 1

There is no way to retrieve actual date/time from your device alone unless its system time is accurate.

Using Javascript (and a bit of help from Fetch API), you can always get current time from the third-party services like this.

World Time API

fetch('http://worldtimeapi.org/api/timezone/Europe/Belgrade')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data));
