Simple AskGeo API wrapper. See AskGeo to obtain an API Key.
$ npm install askgeo
timezone
returns a TimeZone
object. An example:
{
IsInside: 'true',
AskGeoId: 12580,
MinDistanceKm: 0,
TimeZoneId: 'America/New_York',
ShortName: 'EDT',
CurrentOffsetMs: -14400000,
WindowsStandardName: 'Eastern Standard Time',
InDstNow: 'true'
}
Account id and api keys can be set as environment variables and will be attempted to retrieve at process.env.ASK_GEO_ACCOUNT_ID
and process.env.ASK_GEO_API_KEY
. If they are set then the callback in each function can be moved up two arguments.
Given a lat, lon point, return a TimeZone
object.
