All zones, cached, parallel. Free. - **URL**: https://apify.com/vigilant\_jasmine/french-public-holidays.md - **Developed by:** [DEV DEV](https://apify.com/vigilant_jasmine) (community) - **Categories:** Automation, Developer tools - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## French Public Holidays & Business-Day Engine — Pro **Free Apify actor.** Three tools in one around official French **public holidays (jours feries)**: list them, classify arbitrary dates, and count **business (working) days** in date ranges. Jours feries et calcul de jours ouvres. Source: official `calendrier.api.gouv.fr` (Etalab / DINUM). No API key. Open Licence 2.0. ### Modes - **list** — every public holiday for the given `years` and `zone` (optional `month` filter). Each item: date, name, weekday, is_weekend. - **check** — for each date in `dates`: is_holiday (+ name), is_weekend, is_business_day, weekday. - **businessDays** — for each range in `ranges` ("YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DD"): total_days, business_days, weekend_days, holiday_days, and the list of holidays in range. Supports all zones: metropole, Alsace-Moselle and overseas territories. ### Runtime (developer-grade) Holiday data is fetched once per year and **cached**; requests run with bounded **parallelism** (`maxConcurrency`). Resilient HTTP client (timeout, backoff+jitter, 429/5xx), optional **Apify proxy**, global **`maxItems`** cap, structured logs, and a **run summary** in the key-value store (`OUTPUT`). ### Output (businessDays, trimmed) ```json { "status": "found", "mode": "businessDays", "zone": "metropole", "start": "2026-01-01", "end": "2026-03-31", "total_days": 90, "business_days": 62, "weekend_days": 26, "holiday_days": 2, "holidays_in_range": ["2026-01-01", "2026-04-06"] } ```` Every entry yields an item with `status`: `found`, `not_found`, `error`. ### Use cases - Compute working days for SLAs, payroll, delivery and billing. - Check whether a date is a holiday/weekend before scheduling. - Feed HR and planning systems with official holidays by zone. - Compare holidays between mainland France and overseas territories. ### Limitations & fair use - Alsace-Moselle and overseas zones have specific extra holidays; pick the right `zone`. ### More actors by this developer See the full range of French open-data actors: https://apify.com/vigilant\_jasmine # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): list = holidays per year; check = classify given dates; businessDays = count working days in ranges. ## `zone` (type: `string`): metropole, alsace-moselle, or an overseas zone (guadeloupe, guyane, martinique, mayotte, nouvelle-caledonie, la-reunion, polynesie, saint-barthelemy, saint-martin, saint-pierre-et-miquelon, wallis-et-futuna). ## `years` (type: `array`): One or more 4-digit years. ## `month` (type: `integer`): Only holidays in this month (1-12). ## `dates` (type: `array`): YYYY-MM-DD dates to classify as holiday / weekend / business day. ## `ranges` (type: `array`): Inclusive ranges 'YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DD' to count working days in. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on total dataset items across all queries. 0 = unlimited. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): How many queries to process in parallel (1-20). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional Apify proxy for outbound requests. Off by default; these are public government APIs. ## `debug` (type: `boolean`): Enable verbose debug logs (retries, URLs). ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "list", "zone": "metropole", "years": [ "2025", "2026" ], "dates": [ "2026-05-01", "2026-07-14", "2026-07-11" ], "ranges": [ "2026-01-01..2026-03-31" ], "maxItems": 0, "maxConcurrency": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }, "debug": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
