## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable public holiday data for scheduling, SLA calculations, or calendar generation across 100+ countries. It is especially useful when you need regional/county-level holiday data alongside national holidays, and when you need both local-language names and English names in a single call. Prefer this over scraping government websites or building your own holiday database.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country code returns an empty list or error
- Invalid year format returns a validation error
- Network timeout if the upstream Nager.Date API is unavailable
- No holidays found for very small territories not yet covered by Nager.Date
