How to get the timezone of the servicenow instance using REST API

I need to get timezone and date format of the ServiceNow instance using REST API's, so going through the documentation I formulated a REST query as below :

https://xxxxx.service-now.com/api/now/v1/table/sys_user?sysparm_query=user_name=admin&sysparm_fields...

This query returns the timezone and date format but it returns empty value if the timezone is the System default. 

How can I get the system default timezone?

Okay, I am fetching the data from the instance using a user account via REST API's

but I need to be aware of the timezone of the user_account so that I can pull the data at the right time when the data will be loaded into the instance. 

In short data, fetching should be timezone aware
