Answer 1

I believe you can at least get the number of minutes this place's current timezone is offset from UTC together with its coordinates using Place Autocomplete. You can look for the logs 'utc_offset' under 'result' property.

The response includes the following:

geometry: The place's geometry-related information. This includes: location provides the latitude and longitude of the place. viewport defines the preferred viewport on the map when viewing this place.

utc_offset: contains the number of minutes this place’s current timezone is offset from UTC. For example, for places in Sydney, Australia during daylight saving time this would be 660 (+11 hours from UTC), and for places in California outside of daylight saving time this would be -480 (-8 hours from UTC).

Answer 2

You can use Places Autocomplete as @rafon said. But you should use setFields method and add utc_offset_minutes.

Like that autoComplete.setFields(['utc_offset_minutes'])

You can not get utc_offset_minutes from geocoding api.
