## 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-next-public-holidays-72890c9d
```

Example prompt: What are the next 5 public holidays in Germany? I need to make sure I don't schedule any meetings on those days.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need upcoming (future-looking) public holidays for a specific country without specifying a year, and you want the results ordered by proximity to today. Prefer it over the list-by-year endpoint when scheduling, travel planning, or payroll automation requires only the next N holidays from now. It is backed by Nager.Date with ~100-country coverage and returns rich metadata including local names and holiday types.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid country code returns an error — must be a valid ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. 'DE', not 'Germany')
- Country not supported by Nager.Date returns empty results or error — coverage is ~100 countries
- Limit out of range (outside 1–50) may be rejected or clamped
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance or network issue) blocks the request
- No upcoming holidays found returns count 0 with an empty holidays array

## 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 country code, a count of returned holidays, and an array of upcoming holiday objects each with date (ISO 8601), English name, local name, holiday types (e.g. Public), and a global flag indicating nationwide applicability. Also includes source attribution to Nager.Date and a disclaimer note.
