Is there any API for converting Address to Timezone offset

Question

Is there a API available for converting Address to Timezone?

I have an idea of using Google GEOCODE API for converting Address to LAt long and then Timezone api to convert it into timezone.

Is this is a viable option? Has anyone done this in past?

Do we have any other options?

SmartyStreets will return lat/long and time zone data for United States addresses, all in one step. You can do this via API or a list upload. Just keep in mind that time zone data can change, so you would need to update your data every once in a while to keep up with those changes (if you're planning on keeping some sort of database, etc.)

Another thing to be aware of is Daylight Savings Time observance, which SmartyStreets also indicates in its returned data. You can see a full list of our output fields here.

Update - 11 Jan 2016: SmartyStreets now processes international addresses.
