## 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 public-holidays-by-country-and-year-f189b7bc
```

Example prompt: What are all the public holidays in the US for 2026? I need the official English names, dates, and whether each is a nationwide holiday.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, authoritative public holiday data for 100+ countries without requiring an API key. Ideal for scheduling, business-day calculations, calendar enrichment, or compliance checks. Pairs naturally with /api/business-days for workday computation. Prefer this over generic web searches when you need machine-readable holiday data with local and English names.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country code returns an error or empty array
- Year outside supported range (1975–2099) returns an error
- Missing required query parameters (country or year) returns a 400-level error
- Country with no holiday data in Nager.Date returns an empty list

## How this service works

Public holidays for a country and year via Nager.Date (keyless, 100+ countries): date, local name, English name, nationwide flag, and holiday types. Pairs with /api/business-days and /api/country-info. ?country=US&year=2026

## Output

A list of public holiday objects for the specified country and year, each containing the date (ISO 8601), local name, English name, a boolean indicating if it's a nationwide holiday, and an array of holiday type strings (e.g. Public, Bank, Optional).
