## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need accurate, statute-derived New Zealand public holiday data including Matariki (which changes each year), Mondayisation rules, and optional regional anniversary days for a specific year between 2022 and 2030. It is preferable over generic calendar APIs that may not correctly implement NZ-specific holiday logic.

## Known failure modes

- Year outside the supported range (2022–2030) returns an error or empty response
- Invalid or unrecognised region code returns no regional holiday or an error
- Missing required method or type fields in the request body cause a validation error
- Network or Cloudflare Worker downtime may result in 5xx errors

## How this service works

Pay-per-call New Zealand utilities via x402 (USDC on Base). Computed from statute (Holidays Act 2003, Te Kāhui o Matariki Public Holiday Act 2022) and published government dates; provided as-is with no warranty. Regional anniversary observance can vary locally. Verify critical deadlines with the relevant agency.

## Output

A list of New Zealand public holidays for the requested year (2022–2030), each with the holiday name and date. Optionally includes regional anniversary days when a region is specified. Matariki dates and Mondayisation shifts are included as computed from the Holidays Act 2003.
