I am using the "Route Range" API to create an isochrone for a specific location based on traffic at a certain date and time. The departAt argument requires a UTC formatted time, and I am considering using the "Get Timezone By Coordinates" API to obtain this for a location such as Chicago on May 19, 2025, at 6:15 PM.
Is it feasible to use the "Get Timezone By Coordinates" API to retrieve the UTC time for a specific date and time? It appears that the timeStamp argument necessitates knowing the UTC time in advance, meaning I cannot simply input the Chicago coordinates along with "2025-05-19T18:15:00" to get the UTC equivalent (e.g., "2025-05-19T23:15:00Z").
Any guidance on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken
