With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`): ```sh zero fetch --capability tariffmonkee-taiwan-business-day-check-a15209bf ``` Example prompt: Is February 28, 2025 a business day in Taiwan — and how many business days are there between February 28 and March 14, 2025? ## When to prefer this Choose this endpoint when you specifically need Taiwan (ROC) business-day logic that accounts for official government public holidays, not just weekday/weekend filtering. It is ideal for automating payment settlement, scheduling, or deadline calculations that must respect Taiwan's official holiday calendar. Prefer it over generic weekday calculators whenever Taiwan-specific holiday accuracy is required. ## Known failure modes - Date outside coverage (pre-2017 or future dates beyond calendar data): returns a clear not-found error - Invalid date format (not YYYY-MM-DD): request will fail with a validation error - range_end spans more than 2 calendar years: rejected with an error - Network or payment failure: HTTP 402 if payment not processed ## How this service works Taiwan business day check from the ROC government office calendar (via the TaiwanCalendar project): whether a date is a business day, with weekends and public holidays counted as non-business days, and optionally the business-day count across a range. Covers about 2017 onward; dates outside coverage return a clear not-found error. ## Output Returns a JSON object with the queried date's business-day status (is_business_day boolean), holiday status (is_holiday boolean), day of week, and a human-readable description of the day. If a range_end date is provided, also returns the count of business days across the range and a list of holidays within it. Includes attribution, data sources, disclaimer, and a verified_on timestamp. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "input" ], "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string", "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "GET" ], "type": "string" }, "queryParams": { "type": "object", "required": [ "date" ], "properties": { "date": { "type": "string", "description": "Date to check, format YYYY-MM-DD." }, "range_end": { "type": "string", "description": "If provided, also returns a business-day count and holiday list for the range from 'date' to this date, inclusive.
