Geometry nodes have an input node called “Scene Time”, it has 2 outputs frame or seconds.

For shader nodes you need to use a driver. Add a “value” input node and type “#frame” in the value box (without the “ ”). This will give you the frame number, if you want seconds you can add a math node and divide by 30 (or your frame per second choice).

so only for geom nodes not the cycles or Eevee nodes

Well you can use the driver method for shaders. :slightly_smiling_face:

Here I used the frame number (0-250) to move the location mapping of the gradient on the z axis from -1 to 1 (with the map range node).
