We've raised a $4M seed round to solve the problem of wrong years in footers. However, we admit we got a little too excited and blew the whole load in the first quarter. We're hoping to make it last longer until the next round.
Say Goodbye to Outdated Footer Years, Forever.
Every January 1st, millions of developers face the same crisis: outdated footer years. It's almost 2026, and we're still updating copyright years manually like we're in 1999. It's time for a change.

This is embarassing. Seriously, it's almost 2026.
After 4 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;
});Increase your bundle size
// 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

Roadmap
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! ”
“ I've been using this API for a full year now and the year has been correct for at least 11 of those months. Looking forward to another great year in 2026! ”
“ 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
We have not completed our annual year-transition preparations. Our senior intern is on administrative leave and we cannot access the server because he is the only one who knows the password (see: December 5 security audit). He has read our messages but is not responding.
Joe has been placed on administrative leave effective immediately after requesting 2 weeks PTO to 'visit his girlfriend in Tokyo.' Upon investigation, his girlfriend is an AI companion and Tokyo is not a real destination. We are now without our senior intern 72 hours before the year transition. We have reached out to OpenAI to see if GPT-5.2 Codex Max Extra-High can cover his shifts.
Annual infrastructure review complete. Our proprietary statistical averaging algorithm has been stress-tested and is performing within expected parameters. The team is taking a well-deserved break until the 27th. Joe will remain on-call as he does not celebrate Christmas. He mentioned he has 'plans with someone special.'
In response to the Next.js CVE-2025-66478, we audited our codebase. We use Astro. We don't know what React Server Components are. Apparently this is good. Joe has been promoted to Head of Security (no pay increase).
After careful consideration, we have decided not to move forward with hiring a second intern at this time. While the candidate showed promise (his experience includes vibe coding a todo list app in Cursor), our senior intern expressed concerns about having to train someone new while also preparing for the year transition. We will revisit this in Q1 2026.
We are pleased to announce we are hiring a second intern to support Joe during the upcoming year transition. The new intern will be responsible for manually monitoring the API while Joe focuses on the statistical averaging algorithm. Applications open on our careers page.
Joe has been promoted to Senior Intern in recognition of his contributions over the past year. His new responsibilities include overseeing all year-related calculations and training future interns. His stipend has been increased by $50/month.
We migrated our backend to Neon. Due to multiple service interruptions throughout the week, we have reverted to our previous architecture.
