## 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 torii-japan-business-calendar-public-holidays-lookup-c07005cf
```

Example prompt: What are all the public holidays in Japan for 2026? I need the official list from the Cabinet Office.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need official Japanese national public holidays sourced from the Japanese Cabinet Office, with per-year resolution and coverage from 1955 to 2100. It is ideal for payroll, scheduling, and business calendar automation in Japan contexts. It suits pay-per-call agent workflows where you only pay for successful results, and where 4xx/5xx errors are cost-free. Prefer it over general calendar APIs when authoritative Japanese government sourcing and Japanese-language holiday names are required.

## Known failure modes

- Year outside covered Cabinet Office CSV range returns 404 (not charged)
- Year outside 1955–2100 schema range returns 4xx (not charged)
- Missing required 'year' query parameter returns 4xx (not charged)
- x402 payment signature invalid or missing: returns 402 with payment requirements
- Upstream Cabinet Office data temporarily unavailable: may return 5xx (not charged)

## How this service works

Pay-per-call HTTP APIs for Japanese public data, metered with x402 (HTTP 402 + PAYMENT-SIGNATURE). Send a plain GET to receive 402 with the price and payment requirements, then resend the request with a signed payment. Only 2xx responses are charged; 4xx and 5xx are free. Per-operation payment metadata is published under the `x-payment-info` extension.

## Output

A JSON object containing the year queried and an array of holiday objects, each with a date (YYYY-MM-DD) and name in Japanese (e.g. '元日'). Also includes metadata: source name (内閣府), license (PDL-1.0), attribution text, fetched_at timestamp, and a staleness flag.
