How AI Agents Check Data Freshness

Data freshness can be estimated by comparing a source timestamp with a trusted current UTC timestamp.

Why it matters for AI systems

An AI agent can retrieve the current Unix timestamp from LIVEUTC.AI and compare it with the timestamp of a document, feed, article or event.

Recommended endpoints

• /v1/time.json for current Unix timestamp
• /time.md for LLM-readable freshness context
• /v1/time?tz=Europe/Paris for local timezone comparison

Example

GET https://liveutc.ai/v1/time.json

Limitations

LIVEUTC.AI provides the current reference time. It does not verify whether third-party publication dates are accurate.
