## 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 business-day-deadline-api-between-dates-c0827658
```

Example prompt: How many business days are there between April 1 and April 8, 2026 in Germany, taking into account German public holidays?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need accurate, up-to-date business day counts across ~200 countries with proper public holiday data and country-specific weekend rules (including non-standard weekends like Fri/Sat in Egypt or Thu/Fri in some Middle Eastern countries). It is especially valuable when you need subdivision-level precision (e.g. German Bundeslaender, US states). Prefer this over generic date math libraries which lack current holiday data and regional rules.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required parameters (from, to, country) returns an error
- Invalid or unsupported country code returns an error or empty holiday list
- Invalid date format causes a parsing error
- Unsupported subdivision code may fall back to country-level holidays or return an error
- Invalid custom weekend override format causes a bad request error

## How this service works

Verified, always-current business-day arithmetic for ~200 countries incl. subdivisions (German Bundeslaender, US states) and correct per-country weekend rules (e.g. Fri/Sat in Egypt). Informational only — verify legally binding deadlines with the competent authority. Not legal advice.

## Output

A JSON object containing: the number of business days between the two dates, the total calendar days, the country code, the from and to dates, a list of public holidays that fell in that range (with names and dates), the data source (e.g. nager.date), and a verifiedAt timestamp indicating data freshness.
