How this service works
Australasian government reference data for 8 countries as cited JSON: central-bank policy rates, VAT/GST and VAT registration thresholds, CPI, corporate, personal and withholding tax, social contributions, minimum wages, statutory interest, official FX rates, filing deadlines and public holidays (coverage varies by country). Every value carries its official source URL and last-confirmed date. Single facts $0.003; country brief (every series for one country) $0.01; cross-country compare (one series, up to 10 countries) $0.02; tax-ID and VAT-number checks $0.003; computed answers (VAT, income tax, working days, minimum-wage check) $0.01-$0.02. Pay per call in USDC on Base via x402 or MPP, no signup, or by card with credit packs or monthly plans on one key valid across all 7 regional services. Free tier: GET /catalog, plus a free email key with 50 answer calls a day, commercial use allowed. Finished answers, one cited dossier per call (supported countries vary per job; others are refused free): cost this hire (wage-floor verdict, contributions, employer cost) $0.50; charge this sale (which VAT applies, net/VAT/gross) $0.50; charge this sale certified (plus a signed VAT-rate extract) $0.75; invoice due date and statutory late interest $0.40; country evidence pack (brief plus signed extracts) $0.25; hire compare $0.75 for 2 countries, $1.00 for 3-5; next filings (VAT, PAYE, corporate-tax due dates rolled for holidays) $0.35. Free trial: 3 computed-answer calls per day per IP on POST /v1/answers/* with header X-Free-Trial: 1 (without it, the normal x402 402; once used up, the 402 carries free_trial_resets_at). MCP answer tools use the trial automatically when no api_key is passed. Every series of the evaluation country is free. Card credit (same per-call price as x402): /pricing.
Output
A JSON object listing official public holidays for the requested country, including holiday names, dates, official government source URLs, last-confirmed dates, and a staleness flag indicating whether the data may be outdated.
Example use cases
Payroll compliance for Australian staff
“Pull the official gazetted public holidays for Australia so I can make sure our payroll system isn't scheduling work on statutory days — I need the dates, holiday names, and source citations.”
Scheduling meetings across Pacific offices
“I need to check which days are public holidays in Fiji and Papua New Guinea so I can avoid booking cross-office meetings on those days — can you get the official government holiday lists for both countries?”
Working days calculation for a contract
“Our contract deadline is 30 business days from today — can you get the official public holidays in New Zealand so we can calculate the correct due date excluding statutory days?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://ausref.dev/v1/holidays/%7Bcountry%7D?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need official, gazette-cited public holiday data for Australasian and Pacific Island countries (Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Tonga, and similar covered nations) and require traceable source URLs and confirmation dates for compliance or audit purposes. Prefer it over generic holiday APIs when citation provenance matters — e.g. payroll, legal, or regulatory use cases. Not suitable for countries outside the 8-country Oceania coverage.
Side effects
- Country not supported — endpoint refuses with an error indicating the country is outside the 8-country coverage
- Invalid country identifier — malformed or unrecognised country code returns an error
- Payment not attached or insufficient — x402 payment required error if no USDC payment is provided
- Stale data warning — response includes a stale flag if the data has not been recently confirmed against official sources
- Rate limit exceeded on free tier — daily free call limit reached
