We've raised $4M to solve the problem of wrong years in footers.
Say Goodbye to Outdated Footer Years, Forever.
Every January 1st, millions of developers face the same crisis: outdated footer years. It's 2025, and we're still updating copyright years manually like we're in 1999. It's time for a change.

This shit is embarassing. Seriously, it's 2025.
After 3 years of relentless development, we've crafted the ultimate API to solve this problem forever. Our team of +10 engineers poured their hearts and souls into building the perfect solution (before budget cuts hit). Consider this our gift to the developer community. You're welcome, internet.
One Simple API
GET "https://getfullyear.com/api/year"
{
"year": 2025,
"year_string": "2025",
"sponsored_by": "Viagra: standing tall and proud"
}Drop-in JavaScript
fetch('https://getfullyear.com/api/year')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
console.log(data.sponsored_by);
footerYear.textContent = data.year;
});For the NPM Addicts
// Install the package
// npm install get-full-year
// Import the package
import getFullYear from "get-full-year";
// Using async/await
const data = await getFullYear();
// Print the year (and our sponsor) to the console
console.log(data.sponsored_by);
console.log(data.year);This is the most popular way to use our API. Developed by this guy
For Python Developers
# Install the package
# pip install get-full-year
# Import the package
from get_full_year import FullYear, console
full_year = FullYear()
print(full_year.year)
# Terms of service require we console.log the sponsored_by message
console.log(full_year.sponsored_by)Python developers love our API too. Developed by this guy
For Rewrite-It-In-Rust Folks
// Add to Cargo.toml:
// [dependencies]
// get-full-year = "1.0.0"
// In your main.rs:
use get_full_year::get_full_year;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
match get_full_year(false).await {
Ok(data) => println!("Fetched Year Data: {:?}", data),
Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
}
}Memory safe year fetching. Developed by this guy

What developers are saying
“ I used to have a team of 47 interns whose sole job was updating footer years manually every midnight. Thanks to GetFullYear, they're all unemployed now and I couldn't be happier! ”
“ handy but for footer ”
“ Don’t share with your competitors ”
“ making the world a better place one footer at a time ”
“ Getting devs to approve a PR at Dec 31st midnight is a problem of the past ”
“ This API solved our issue with updating the footer year using vanilla JavaScript, which often caused inconsistencies. Now it works flawlessly and hassle-free! ”
“ Not having to have developers working costly overtime hours over the festive period has saved us thousands of dollars. Thanks getfullyear! ”
“ Most companies lose their customers because their footer has the wrong year on the website. We don’t because we use getFullYear. ”
“ Best API available on the internet so far. Must need for every dev. ”
“ GetFullYear enabled me to finally fire the last employee at my AI agency who was responsible for updating the footers. The Enterprise tier for 5 bucks is a steal. ”
“ I used to dread [...] manually updating the copyright year in our website's footer. But [...] GetFullYear [...] is super simple [...] and it updates automatically at midnight. [...] It's a game-changer for any developer tired of dealing with [...] footers. ”
“ We had a whole CI/CD pipeline to check if we should update the year everyday. Thanks to GetFullYear, it's one less thing for our team to manage. ”
“ Enterprise ready and scalable. ”

Incident Report
Great news! Our intern's suggestion shows promising early results. However, they will be away for a week preparing for their final exams. Progress may temporarily slow down until they return. If anyone knows how to convince the Rust borrow checker that our year value outlives the function scope, please email me. It keeps saying my numbers are dead. Thanks!
We are running out of ideas. Our intern is suggesting we generate multiple year predictions and use statistical averaging and rounding the number to the nearest integer to get the current year. We are considering this.
Devin made things worse by trying to use some experimental AI model. Now the API is sometimes returning next year instead of the current year. We had to revert his changes and he's no longer working with us. Back to square one.
We got a hold of this guy called Devin. He is now working with our intern to fix the issue. Thanks for your patience.
Our intern identified the problem being the knowledge cutoff of GPT-4o which caused it to hallucinate the current year as 2024. We are now trying to figure out what AI agents are and if they can help us resolve the issue.
Service degradation: Our API is occasionally returning 2024 instead of 2025. Our intern is investigating and working on a fix. We apologize for any inconvenience.
