These APIs return data about the server time, user audiences, and user location. Except for Get Accurate Time, the following APIs after Dynamic Yield fills the attributes from the back-end. Therefore, we recommend verifying that the attributes exist on the page before attempting to fetch their values. This can be done using the Wait for Dynamic Yield Script API.
Get Accurate Time
Returns the time based on Dynamic Yield’s clock adjusted to your time zone. This function is ideal when wanting to incorporate into any Dynamic Content or Template one specific time/clock that is unified and consistent for all visitors, such as in a promotion countdown notification.
