## 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 world-public-holidays-lookup-3b56acfa -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are all the public holidays in Japan for 2025, including regional ones, with their local names and whether they've already passed?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, structured public holiday data for a specific country including local names and regional holidays — data that cannot be reliably inferred from a generic calendar. Prefer this over building holiday logic manually, scraping government sites, or using LLM knowledge (which may be stale). Best suited when you need past/upcoming classification relative to today without writing date arithmetic yourself.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or invalid ISO country code returns an error or empty list
- Year parameter out of supported range may return empty or error response
- Regional holiday coverage may be incomplete for countries with many sub-national jurisdictions
- Network or upstream data source timeout returns a 5xx error
- Malformed request body (e.g. wrong type for year field) returns a 4xx validation error

## How this service works

Which days are public holidays in this country? Full year of national and regional holidays with local names and a past/upcoming flag — date arithmetic an agent cannot infer from a calendar alone

## Output

A structured list of public holidays for the specified country and year, each entry including the date, local holiday name, scope (national or regional), and a flag indicating whether the holiday is in the past or upcoming relative to today.
