Gets the time zone name of any location in the world. Unless nominatim doesn't know it ;-)
This fork is a (heavily) modified version of @sils whenareyou. Uses nominatim.openstreetmap.org
to search the location. It caches the results so that the server isn't stressed by repeated queries of the same address.
from whenareyou import whenareyou
tz = whenareyou('Hamburg')
tz
Out[1]: 'Europe/Berlin'
from datetime import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo # Python 3.9+
datetime(2002, 10, 27, 6, 0, 0, tzinfo=ZoneInfo(tz)).isoformat()
Out[2]: '2002-10-27T06:00:00+01:00'
Lookup of IATA airport codes (3-letter) is also included:
from whenareyou import whenareyou_IATA
whenareyou_IATA('PVG') # Shanghai Pudong
Out[3]: 'Asia/Shanghai'
- v0.4 required Python 3.9+ (zoneinfo module)
- v0.5 API change: zoneinfo no longer required, should work well with older versions of Python
- requests, timezonefinder
