## 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 forgemesh-public-holidays-api-b786fdd0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you get me all official national holidays for Germany in 2025, including the holiday type for each one, so I can block them out in our scheduling system?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, authoritative holiday data for any country and year — especially for scheduling, SLA planning, payroll processing, or delivery routing where you need to know holiday type (public vs bank vs school vs observance) rather than just dates.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or invalid 2-letter country code returns an error or empty list
- Year out of supported range returns an error
- Malformed request body causes a 400-level error
- Payment not processed causes a 402 Payment Required error
