## 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 globalrules-japan-2026-public-holidays-sample-10207126

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, specific fact about Japan's 2026 public holidays and want the cheapest per-call cost. It's ideal for lightweight lookups where you don't need the full country profile. Prefer it over the full-country or bulk endpoints when you only need holiday data for one country and want to minimize cost.

## Known failure modes

- Country code not supported (only 98 countries covered) — may return 404 or empty result
- Network timeout from Render hosting cold start — retry after a few seconds
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — endpoint requires $0.01 USDC per call
- Data not yet available for the requested year — sample may be partial
