Youtube API returning current time

I'm using the youtube iframe api and can't seem to find anything in the documentation or on google that references how to get the returned values on current media completion.

I'm needing to build a script where I can past in time variables, in which when the variable matches up with the current time played an event can be triggered.

I know in the embed API there is one, player.getCurrentTime():Number but doesn't seem to be one for the iframe API. I'm sure someone would of noticed this before.

getCurrentTime is also available in youtube iframe source.

To get current time code, I used a math.floor.

time = Math.floor(Video.YTPlayer.getCurrentTime());

This will always return whole numbers and will constantly round down numbers to its whole.
