Get real date & time from an API

Prevent cheating by changing device's time or date.

If you want to use your own API using php :

  • add a folder to your server named TimeApi
  • create an index.php file inside of TimeApi/
<?php

$datetime = date("Y-m-d\TH:i:s", time());
echo '{ "datetime": "'.$datetime.'" }';

?>

Now you can get time from your server: http://yourdomainname.com/TimeApi/

If you don't want to use the json format :

<?php

echo date("Y-m-d\TH:i:s", time());

?>

But make sure to remove the JsonUtility.. code from WorldTimeAPI.cs in the Assets folder and use this one :

IEnumerator GetRealDateTimeFromAPI ( ) {
	//...
	//...
	} else {
		//success
		TimeData timeData = new TimeData( );
		timeData.datetime = webRequest.downloadHandler.text;
		//....
	}
}
