[users at bb.net] How can I find the server's current time via the api?

[Pierre Tardy]

Hi Caleb,
this API does not exist. The data api is giving timestamps in UTC timezone
to avoid all the timezone headackes.
But in order to synchronize master and another computer, I would recommend
to just synchronize them using NTP.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol
It is usually rather easy to setup that.

Regards
Pierre
