-- Implement a command !time [area] which uses
-- 2 Google APIs to get the desired result:
--   1. Geocoding to get from area to a lat/long pair
--   2. Timezone to get the local time in that lat/long location

-- Globals
-- If you have a google api key for the geocoding/timezone api
api_key  = config.google_api_key or nil
base_api = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api"
dateFormat = "%A %d %B - %H:%M:%S"

-- Need the utc time for the google api
function utctime()
   return os.time(os.date("!*t"))

-- CHECKME: this seems to work without a key??
