title: Swift get server time
body: <p>Is there a way to get a server time to use with swift. I want to set a static time based on a server. so that even if a user changes the time zone and the date, it wouldn't matter and the time which will show on the view controller will be a time based on the server rather than the NSDate</p>
  
  <pre><code> let today = NSDate()
   println(today)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>at present the above code, changes the date and time if its altered in the phone settings. i am also using parse in my code. is there a way to get the server time from parse.</p>
