How would this surprise one-off holiday be accounted for programmatically? Does the government provide an API you can ping every day? Or you scrape the news feeds and feed it through ChatGPT?
- disgruntledphd2 3y agoStuff like this is often officially communicated through some kind of government newsletter. Other times it's just custom and doesn't have a formal notification.
- 0xADD1E 3y agoFor the UK at least, there’s https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays.json https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays.json
- moritonal 3y agoPersonally this (along with things like address lookup) are things that I consider a government should always provide. Consistent data.
- echoangle 3y agoWhat does "bunting" mean in the date entries?
- BTinfinity 3y agoBunting just means decorations, the value is true when the government recommends decorating for the holiday. It's reserved for celebrations, so events like the queens funeral have it set to false.
- selimthegrim 3y agoIsn’t there black bunting?
