Javascript – Shift in seconds from UTC to real clock time

While fetching data from a weather API the result time zone for Indian location was 19800, which was shift in seconds from UTC to real clock time.

timezone : 19800

I need that to real clock time. ChatGPT gave me this:

var shiftInSeconds = 19800;

var currentTimeUTC = Date.now();
var shiftedTime = currentTimeUTC + (shiftInSeconds * 1000); // Convert seconds to milliseconds
var shiftedDate = new Date(shiftedTime);
var localTime = shiftedDate.toLocaleString();

console.log("Real time:", localTime);

I got the result as

Real time: 17/05/2024, 21:27:43

The actual time now is 03:57 PM. Is there any way to get the exact local clock time ?

    Does this work for you ?

    I switched to the toISOString() function instead since you’re actually using UTC time

    The internal time representation is accurate already. It’s just the way you printed it.

    
var shiftInSeconds = 19800;

var currentTimeUTC = Date.now();
var shiftedTime = currentTimeUTC + (shiftInSeconds * 1000); // Convert seconds to milliseconds
var shiftedDate = new Date(shiftedTime);
var localTime = shiftedDate.toISOString();

console.log("Real time:", localTime);

    maybe like this ?

    const newDate = new Date();
const myDate = newDate.toLocaleTimeString("en-IN");
console.log(timedDate);

    output : "12:46:20 pm" witch is the real time for me.
