Fetching the "timeZoneName" by Passing "timeZoneId" from google map API

Question

Please refer this Link

This API Call passes the location in request, and get the response with the details in JSON/XML

eg : Request

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?location=39.6034810,-119.6822510&timestamp=1331161200&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Response

{ "dstOffset" : 0, "rawOffset" : -28800, "status" : "OK", "timeZoneId" : "America/Los_Angeles", "timeZoneName" : "Pacific Standard Time" }

I want to pass the "timeZoneId" in request Parameter and and fetch "timeZoneName" and if possible other details in Output.

Something like this :

Request :

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?timeZoneId=America/Los_Angeles,-119.6822510&timestamp=1331161200&key="Your Api Key"

Response

{
   "dstOffset" : 0,
   "rawOffset" : -28800,
   "timeZoneName" : "Pacific Standard Time"
}

Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Currently, Google Maps API doesn't have such option. Probably you can create a feature request in public issue tracker. — xomena

Thanks for Confirming @xomena :) Is there any other way to achieve the same apart from google maps api. — Abhii

What language are you using? You don't need to go back to google for this. For example, if you're using .net, you can use this library. There are others for other languages as well. — Matt Johnson-Pint

I want it in Perl or javascript. Is there any API call to Dot Net Library? — Abhii
