Holiday API is on a mission to rid the world of databases and spreadsheets full of stale holiday data. Our algorithmic approach to this problem allow us to provide accurate, up-to-date holiday information that can be added to your application in minutes. On the fly calculations allow us to offer a wide range of both historical and future data. We're obsessive about holidays and observances, the different calendars used around the world, and the math that makes it all work.
We eat, sleep, and breathe holidays, so you don't have to.
Founded in 2013, Holiday API has grown to support 250 countries and 3,680 states & provinces in 109 different languages.
