## 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 manylives-tools-market-holidays-business-days-94d5638b
```

Example prompt: What are the public holidays in Australia for 2026, and how many business days are there in December 2026?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative public holiday data and business day counts for a specific country, especially for financial scheduling, trade execution planning, or backtest calendar alignment. Prefer it over general-purpose calendar APIs when you are already operating within the ManyLives pay-per-call ecosystem for AI trading agents.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'country' query parameter returns an error
- Invalid or unsupported 2-letter country code returns empty or error response
- Invalid date format for 'from'/'to' parameters causes a parse error
- Payment of $0.002 USDC not provided results in HTTP 402 Payment Required
- Future years with unpublished holiday schedules may return incomplete data
