## 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 is-public-holiday-f65afaa1
```

Example prompt: Is December 26th a public holiday in Canada, and if so, what's it called — and when is the next public holiday after that?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, per-date holiday checking with business-day logic baked in, especially for agentic workflows that need to avoid scheduling actions on non-working days. It is ideal when you need a single-call answer with the next holiday included, rather than fetching a full calendar of holidays. At $0.01 per check it is cost-effective for on-demand validation rather than bulk holiday calendars.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or unrecognized country code returns an error or empty result
- Malformed date format causes a bad request response
- Date too far in the future may not have holiday data available
- Some regional/state-level holidays may not be included if only national holidays are covered
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Is a date a public holiday in a country? Returns yes/no with the holiday name, whether it is a weekend, and the next public holiday after that date. Business-day logic for agents. $0.01 per check.

## Output

Returns a yes/no flag indicating whether the date is a public holiday, the name of the holiday if applicable, whether the date falls on a weekend, and the date and name of the next public holiday after the queried date.
