Holidata is the core of holidata.net, a no-nonsense, ad-free provider of international holiday data.

Holidata

holidata is a utility for algorithmically producing holiday data. Its purpose is mainly for holidata.net.

Holiday data can be produced for a given year in a supported locale and output format.

Usage

holidata --year=<value> --locale=<value> [--output=<value>]
holidata --year=<value> --country=<value> [--lang=<value>] [--output=<value>]

Call holidata with the --help option to more detailed information.

Examples

• Create holiday data of year 2022 for locale de-DE:

  $ holidata --year=2022 --locale=de-DE
  

• Create holiday data of year 2022 for country BE and language fr:

  $ holidata --year=2022 --country=BE --lang=fr
  

• Create holiday data of year 2022 for country US (default language en):

  $ holidata --year=2022 --country=US
  

Data

For each holiday the following data is provided:

• locale - language and country the holiday is defined for
• region - region code of the given subdivision the holiday is defined for
• date - actual date the holiday takes place
• description - name of the holiday in the given language
• type - holiday type flags
• notes - additional information

Locales

Holidata provides holiday data in different locales, i.e. for a given country and in a given language. See holidata.net for a complete overview of the currently provided locales.

If you think a locale is missing, open a feature request on GitHub.

Output Formats

Holidata supports different output formats, currently csv, json, yaml, and xml.

If you think an output format is missing, open a feature request on GitHub.

Limitations

Holidata focuses on holidays which are defined by law on which business or work are suspended or reduced (there may be some exceptions to that rule).

Holidata only provides data for countries and their principal subdivisions (both as they are defined in ISO 3166). Holidays for other subdivisions are either merged or ignored. There is also no explicit representation of partial holidays.

How do you generate (German) holiday information?

The data on holidata.net is outdated. Can you update the data or give me a hint how to generate holiday data by myself?

I tried cloning the repo, and following the installation instructions. But it seems like the CPP code doesn't do the generation.

So I tried to run the python code, but it doesn't contain the classes for German holiday data. Can you provide those? Is that the correct way to build data that holidata.net hosts?

I also saw GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior#2173 and question if that's the correct way how to insert holiday information into taskwarrior? Is it? If yes, why wasn't the PR merged and if no, why does the outdated data remain in the doc/rc package?

I'd be glad if you could answer my question and help me save my problem, thx! Btw. I really enjoy using taskwarrior and timew - these tools are awesome.

Error in locale fr-FR

There is a typo in the fr-FR locale (year 2020 and 2021 checked).
Ascension holiday is currently written ascencion (with a "c"). It shoud be written ascension (with an "s")

Meaning of the type flags

What does the different letters of the type indicate? I can't seem to find any information regarding this on holidata.net nor in the repository.

2020

Holidays with fixed dates (All are national except new year and Labor day, however Labor day is still fixed):

Jan 1 - New Year
Apr 23 - National Independence Day
May 1 - Labor Day
May 19 - Ataturk Memorial, Youth and Sports Day
Jul 15 - Democracy Day
Aug 30 - Victory Day
Oct 29 - Republic Day

Holidays with variable dates (mainly because they depend on a different calendar). Each year both holidays move 10 days earlier than previous year, but I'm not sure if that's a fixed value (10 days):

May 24 - May 26 Ramadan Holiday (3 days) - globally known as "Eid ul Fitr"
Jul 31 - Aug 3 Kurban Holiday (4 days) - globally known as "Eid al-Adha"

2021

Fixed dates do not change

Variable dates:
May 13 - May 15 Ramadan Holiday (3 days) - known globally as "Eid ul Fitr"
Jul 19 - Jul 23 Kurban Holiday (4 days) - known globally as "Eid al-Adha"

JsonEmitter returns invalid JSON object

Describe the bug
holidata --year=2020 --locale='de-DE' --output=json returns invalid JSON response. While each individual holiday object is correct, the response as a whole should be wrapped in square brackets, and objects separated by a comma.

Expected behavior
Valid JSON array (as in https://www.json.org/json-en.html) of holiday objects is returned.

Additional context
Fixing this should solve SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON data at line 2 column 1 of the JSON data when entering for example https://holidata.net/en-US/2016.json on firefox.

Make project python only

Currently, this repository contains two mechanisms for generating holidata files - the Python approach (in the python subdirectory) and the old approach (everything else). As the idea was to have the Python definition files take over, should we just restructure this repo to be a simple Python package, removing all the legacy code?

Checklist:

• Are all holidays (i.e. days "which are defined by law on which business or work are suspended or reduced") listed? Can you provide the legal sources which define the holidays?
• Is the spelling correct?
• Are the fixed dates <month>-<day> correct?
• If a holiday has a variable date: Is the algorithm to calculate it correct/can you provide it if missing? If it depends on the easter date: Is it the western or orthodox easter date?
• If a holiday is proclaimed by the government: Can you provide the source?
• Are holidays moved to a different date, e.g. if they fall on a saturday/sunday/...?
• Are holidays observed on a different date (is there a substitute holiday), e.g. if they fall on a saturday/sunday/...?
• Are the flags correct? (N = national holiday, defined by law, R = holiday with religious background, F = holiday with fixed date, V = holiday with variable date)
• Have there been any holidays renamed/deleted/created since 2011? If yes, which ones and since when?

Support location in addition to ISO 3166-2 codes as region

In Spain we have national and regional holidays that can be covered by ISO 3166-2:ES codes but also 2 days of local holidays. And by local I mean holidays different by location not province. i.e. a Granada, Málaga or Seville holiday is not for the whole province but just for the city.

I think we must use ISO 3166 codes for regions that are covered but for smaller divisions accept the complete localized name of the location. Holidays by regions smaller and/or not in ISO 3266 codes could be the case in other countries. At least it is for Spain.

region	meaning
AN	for Andalusia autonomous community ISO 3166-2:ES
GR	for Granada province ISO 3166-2:ES
MA	for Málaga province ISO 3166-2:ES
SE	for Seville province ISO 3166-2:ES
Granada	for Granada city (proposed)
Málaga	for Málaga city (proposed)
Sevilla	for Seville city (proposed)

But I don't know if the region parameter can handle safely UTF-8 and spaces present in some location's name.
