            }
        ]

3. Get Time Zones By Location:

Endpoint: /api/v1/location?location={COUNTRY or LOCATION}
Description: For applications that require time zone data categorized by country or location, this endpoint is the answer. You can fetch time zones specific to a country or location, making it easier to provide localized time-related services in your application.

Sample Response:

        [
            {
                "Id": 8,
                "TimeZone": "Atlantic Daylight TimeADST – Atlantic Daylight Saving TimeAST – Atlantic Summer TimeHAA – Heure Avancée de l'Atlantique (French)",
                "Abbreviation": "ADT",
