QUESTIONS

Where does the data come from?
Each government's own published calendar: OPM for the US, gov.uk for the UK, the Cabinet Office for Japan, and so on. No scraped lists.
What is an observance?
A day people mark that is not a legal day off, like Halloween or Mother's Day. The public rows are the statutory holidays.
Why only these countries?
A country ships when its official source does. Curated coverage beats a worldwide list padded with guesses.
Can I do this from code?
Yes. GET /holiday/{country} returns the year, and /holiday/{country}/{date} answers whether one date is a holiday. One pooled request per call.
