Get client timezone information in server

I have a web api project. I need to know the timezone from where I recieve calls to my apis. I have a method which expects a DateTime object as a parameter. I searched if I can somehow get the timezone information from this but apparently it can't be done. For some reason I cant pass the timezone information from client side. Can this be done? Let me know if you need any other information.

Get the Ip Address of your request i.e. Request.UserHostAddress and call this api-

http://ip-api.com/json/yourIpAddress

this will give you all the information as json response like

{
"as": "AS24560 Bharti Airtel Ltd., Telemedia Services",
"city": "Lucknow",
"country": "India",
"countryCode": "IN",
"isp": "Airtel Broadband",
"lat": 26.85,
"lon": 80.9167,
"org": "Airtel Broadband",
"query": "122.160.15.23",
"region": "UP",
"regionName": "Uttar Pradesh",
"status": "success",
"timezone": "Asia/Kolkata",
"zip": "226010"
}
