## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agentstall-za-school-calendar-528e7f02
```

Example prompt: Is November 4, 2026 a school day in South Africa, and if not, what's the reason and when does that school term end?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative South African school calendar data — term dates, school-day status, and public holiday context — especially for scheduling, planning, or compliance workflows targeting South Africa. Prefer it over generic holiday APIs when you need school-specific term boundaries and the integrated school-day boolean check.

## Known failure modes

- Unpaid call returns HTTP 402 with PAYMENT-REQUIRED header — must pay $0.003 USDC via x402 v2
- Invalid date format (not YYYY-MM-DD) may return a validation error
- Year outside supported range (2026-2027) may return no data or an error
- Missing required parameters returns a schema validation error
- Network or worker availability issues may result in timeout or 5xx error

## How this service works

South African public school calendar: term dates and school holidays for 2026 and 2027 from the Department of Basic Education, special school holidays, and whether a given date is a school day. Useful for family travel, childcare, events and education planning in South Africa.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the queried date, whether it is a school day (isSchoolDay boolean), the current term number, the date the term ends (termEnds), and a reason string explaining any non-school status (e.g. 'public holiday: Local Government Elections'). For year-based queries, returns a list of term dates for the specified school year.
