## 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-long-weekend-lookup-public-holidays-d96188d7
```

Example prompt: What are all the long weekends in Lithuania for 2026, including which ones need a bridge day to extend them?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to identify multi-day holiday windows — especially those that can be extended with bridge days — for scheduling, travel planning, or HR purposes. It is specifically designed for long-weekend detection rather than simply listing all public holidays (use a sibling endpoint for that). Choose this over generic calendar APIs when you need structured data about which weekends are naturally extended by public holidays, per country.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'country' query parameter returns an error
- Invalid or unsupported country code returns an error or empty results
- Country not covered by Nager.Date (~100 countries supported) may return empty data
- Invalid year format returns a validation error
- Payment not settled (x402 flow failure) results in 402 response before work is done

## 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 listing all long weekends for the requested country and year. Each entry includes the start date, end date, total day count, a list of bridge days (weekdays between the holiday and the weekend), and a flag indicating whether a bridge day is needed to create the long weekend. Also includes metadata: country code, year, total count of long weekends found, and attribution to Nager.Date.
