## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability japanese-gotobi-calendar-api-b31ce573
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to determine whether a specific date falls on a Japanese gotobi day for purposes of payment scheduling, staffing, financial planning, or logistics in Japan. Prefer this over general business-day calculators (also available on the same host) when the specific gotobi cycle — not just weekday vs. weekend — is the relevant factor.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format (not YYYY-MM-DD) may return an error or empty result
- Missing date parameter may default to today or return an error
- Dates outside supported range may return unexpected results
- Network or worker availability issues may cause timeout
