          solution that does not require jq (not pre-packed) :



          curl -s "http://worldtimeapi.org/api/ip" | cut -f12,13,14 -d ':' | cut -c 2-


          if you don't necessarily need internet time then it would be :



          echo $(date)


          also with date you can pretty it up to the format you want :



          echo $(date --rfc-3339=seconds)

            You can access APIs thorough for fetching some data through curl like for extracting the date and time over the internet from command line I curled an api mentioned below:



            http://worldtimeapi.org/api/timezone/:area/:location[/:region]



            the command i ran was:
            curl "http://worldtimeapi.org/api/timezone/Asia/Karachi.txt"



            The APIs are available at the link: http://worldtimeapi.org/



            thanks.
