# Time-difference

In this page, you will learn about using time-difference between messages.

## What is the Time Difference Module?

> This command allows you to get the time difference between any two messages. You just need to make sure you have [developer mode](https://help.mee6.xyz/support/solutions/articles/101000482629-how-to-enable-developer-mode) enabled to get the message IDs. Apollo provides a very accurate time difference with even milli-seconds.

## Sub Commands for the Time-Difference Module

### `a!timedif <message-ID-1> <message-ID-2>`

> This command checks the time difference between two messages, whilst providing the IDs for both the messages.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.apollo-bot.xyz/guides/time-difference.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
