## 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 scrapemole-pulse-list-available-countries-for-public-holidays-8c901e23
```

Example prompt: Can you give me the full list of countries that have public holiday data available, including their country codes?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover which countries are supported before making specific holiday queries, or when building a UI that lets users select a country for holiday lookups. It is the discovery/metadata endpoint in the holiday API family — call it first if you are unsure whether a given country is covered.

## Known failure modes

- Payment verification failure (402) if USDC payment is not provided or incorrect
- Upstream Nager.Date API unavailability causing 5xx errors
- Network timeouts from Cloudflare Workers edge
- Empty or partial list if upstream data source is temporarily degraded

## How this service works

Pay-per-call "state of the world" lookups that language models cannot know on their own: official ECB exchange rates (latest, historical, conversion), the current time and DST-aware time-zone conversion for scheduling, global weather forecasts (MET Norway, by coordinates or place name), official US National Weather Service forecasts and active watches/warnings/advisories (by state, point, place or zone), the live Hacker News front page, public holidays for ~100 countries (list by year, check a date, next holidays, long weekends, available countries via Nager.Date), and geocoding / reverse geocoding (place or address ↔ coordinates via Photon and Nominatim over OpenStreetMap). Public, non-personal data with sources and licences in every response. USDC via x402, no accounts.

Payments: x402 v2, scheme "exact", USDC on Base (eip155:8453). The payment is verified before the work and settled only when the response is 200. Terms: https://pulse.scrapemole.workers.dev/terms

## Output

A JSON object containing the total count of supported countries and an array of objects each with a 'name' (full country name) and 'countryCode' (ISO 2-letter code), plus source attribution to Nager.Date and a disclaimer that dates may vary by region and year.
