## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Public holidays calendar

Get official public holidays for more than 150 countries and any year, with no API key and no rate limits. This actor computes holidays offline from a maintained rules library, so it keeps working with zero setup and zero maintenance.

Give it a list of country codes and a year range. It returns every public holiday with the date, the weekday it lands on, the holiday name, and the country. You can localize names into other languages and optionally pull in regional holidays for states and provinces.

### What you get

Every run produces a clean table, one row per holiday, ready to export as JSON, CSV or Excel. National holidays come first, then regional ones if you ask for them.

### Input

- Countries: one or more ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes, such as US, GB or DE.
- Start year and end year: the range of calendar years to cover. Use the same value for a single year.
- Language: an optional language code for localized names, such as de or fr. Leave it empty to use each country's default language.
- Include regional holidays: add state, province or region specific holidays, each tagged with its subdivision code.

Example input:

```json
{
    "countries": ["US", "GB", "CA", "AU", "DE", "FR"],
    "startYear": 2026,
    "endYear": 2026,
    "language": "",
    "includeSubdivisions": false
}
````

### Output

Each item in the dataset looks like this:

```json
{
    "country": "US",
    "countryName": "United States",
    "subdivision": null,
    "subdivisionName": null,
    "year": 2026,
    "date": "2026-01-01",
    "weekday": "Thursday",
    "holidayName": "New Year's Day",
    "language": "en"
}
```

Fields:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| country | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code |
| countryName | Full country name |
| subdivision | State or province code, or empty for national holidays |
| subdivisionName | Full name of the subdivision, when present |
| year | Calendar year of the holiday |
| date | Holiday date in ISO format, YYYY-MM-DD |
| weekday | Day of the week the holiday falls on |
| holidayName | Name of the holiday, localized if a language was set |
| language | Language actually used for the names |

### Ideas for using it

- Mark non working days in a booking, scheduling or delivery app.
- Plan payroll, invoicing and settlement around bank holidays.
- Build a travel or calendar product that knows local holidays.
- Compare holiday calendars across the countries where a team works.

### How it works

The actor uses the open source `holidays` Python library, which encodes the rules for each country's public holidays, including moving dates like Easter. Everything is computed at runtime, so there is no external service to call, nothing to rate limit, and no key to manage. That is what keeps it maintenance free.

### Notes

Country and language coverage follows the pinned version of the `holidays` library. If a country code is not supported it is skipped and noted in the log, and the run continues with the rest.

# Actor input Schema

## `countries` (type: `array`):

One or more ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes, for example US, GB, DE. Codes are case insensitive.

## `startYear` (type: `integer`):

First calendar year to include.

## `endYear` (type: `integer`):

Last calendar year to include. Set it equal to the start year for a single year.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Optional ISO language code for localized holiday names, for example de, fr or es. Leave empty for each country's default language.

## `includeSubdivisions` (type: `boolean`):

Also include holidays specific to states, provinces or regions, tagged with their subdivision code.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "countries": [
    "US",
    "GB",
    "CA",
    "AU",
    "DE",
    "FR"
  ],
  "startYear": 2026,
  "endYear": 2026,
  "language": "",
  "includeSubdivisions": false
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `overview` (type: `string`):

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "countries": [
        "US",
        "GB",
        "CA",
        "AU",
        "DE",
        "FR"
    ],
    "startYear": 2026,
    "endYear": 2026
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("mangudai/public-holidays-calendar").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
