Implementation Examples
JavaScript/Node.js
// Fetch atomic time
const response = await fetch(
'https://itime.live/api/time'
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log('Atomic Time:', data.utc);
console.log('Timestamp:', data.timestamp);Python
import requests
# Get atomic time
response = requests.get(
'https://itime.live/api/time'
)
data = response.json()
print(f"Atomic Time: {data['utc']}")
print(f"Timestamp: {data['timestamp']}")cURL
