Tired of manually updating copyright years every January 1st? GetFullYear provides a simple, reliable API to automatically update your footer year, saving you time and embarrassment.
Hey everyone, I'm the founder of getFullYear.com, and I wanted to quickly share why we made this.
I've seen how annoying it is for devs to change that copyright year in website footers every January 1st. It's 2025 and we need a more efficient way to do this.
We built getFullYear.com because we think devs deserve a break from that. We spent a lot of time making an easy API that just works, so you don't have to worry about it. We want you to focus on the stuff that really matters. We've been working hard behind the scenes lately to make sure everything is running smoothly.
I'm here if you have questions, and I'm stoked to make things a little easier for you all!

Thanks for making this!
Is it planned to have a feature that makes the display real-time? If someone visits your website on Dec 31st 23:59 PM, the Copyright should automatically change while celebrating new year. Maybe even add some fireworks and a complementary glass of champagne?
Such a time saver. If you only have a single app, you'll probably think it's not worth the time, but when you have more than one app, this service saves so much time with having to update each year in each repository yearly.

I rarely comment on product launches here, but this one I had to. This is amazing! I have been wanting to use something like this for years. You do not understand the headache it is to manage multiple codebases, different languages and frameworks. This is a simple request to get the full year.
Thanks a bunch for this product.

Kudos to the developer behind this. Would recommend 💯 and would love to see the enterprise plan to be available again (p.s I am one of the lucky ones to have subscribed to it before they stopped).

The most disturbing experience for me is surfing websites with past data such as outdated year in the footer, old logos and expired links. This product solves at least one problem once and for all. Good going
