## 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 asiaref-asian-public-holidays-by-country-7ce45516
```

Example prompt: What are the official public holidays in Japan for 2025? I need the dates and names cited to government sources.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, gazette-cited public holiday data for Asian countries specifically. It is preferable over generic holiday APIs when source provenance and official citation URLs matter — e.g. for legal compliance, payroll, or contract scheduling. The last_confirmed field makes it suitable for freshness-sensitive workflows. Not suitable for non-Asian countries.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country code returns 404 or empty result — only Asian countries covered
- Invalid ISO country code format returns a 400 error
- Year parameter outside available data range may return empty results
- Data may be stale for countries where gazette confirmation is delayed — check last_confirmed field
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Asian public holidays by country, cited to the official gazette or government source: date, name, source URL, last_confirmed. ?year=YYYY to filter. GET /v1/holidays/{country}, e.g. /v1/holidays/jp.

## Output

A JSON array of public holiday objects for the requested country, each containing the holiday date, official name, a URL to the government gazette or official source, and a last_confirmed timestamp indicating when the data was last verified. Optionally filtered to a specific calendar year.
