Each endpoint returns public holiday data for South Korea, including holiday names, dates, and whether they are substitute holidays. For example, the GET /holidays/{year} endpoint provides a complete list of holidays for the specified year.
Key fields in the response include "date" (YYYYMMDD format), "year," "month," "day," "name" (English), "name_ko" (Korean), and "is_holiday" (boolean indicating if it's a holiday).
The response data is structured as a JSON object containing the year, count of holidays, and an array of holiday objects. Each holiday object includes specific details like date, name, and whether it's a substitute holiday.
The API provides information on public holidays, including regular and substitute holidays, for the years 2024-2027. Users can query by year, month, or check specific dates.
The endpoints accept parameters such as "year" (for GET /holidays/{year}), "month" (for GET /holidays/{year}/{month}), and "date" (for GET /holidays/check/{date}). Users can customize requests based on these parameters.
The data is sourced from the Korean government via data.go.kr, ensuring it is official and reliable. This enhances the accuracy and credibility of the holiday information provided.
Typical use cases include planning events, scheduling work, and understanding holiday impacts on business operations in South Korea. Developers can integrate this data into applications for user awareness of holidays.
Users can utilize the returned data by parsing the JSON response to extract relevant holiday information, such as displaying upcoming holidays in applications or checking if specific dates are holidays for scheduling purposes.
Use the GET /holidays/check/{date} endpoint, replacing {date} with the desired date in YYYYMMDD format. The response will indicate whether the date is a public holiday and provide the holiday name if applicable.

Yes, you can use the GET /holidays/{year}/{month} endpoint to retrieve holidays for a specific month within the years 2024-2027. Replace {year} and {month} with the desired values.
The "is_holiday" field is a boolean value that indicates whether the date is a public holiday. If true, the date is recognized as a holiday; if false, it is not.
Substitute holidays are included in the holiday list with the "name" field indicating the holiday's name and the "name_ko" field showing the Korean name. The "is_holiday" field will also be true for these dates.
If the API returns an empty array for a specific month, it means there are no public holidays for that month. You can handle this scenario in your application by displaying a message indicating no holidays are available.
The API returns holiday names in English through the "name" field in the response. Ensure you parse this field to display the holiday names correctly in your application.
The API returns data in JSON format. Each response includes a structured object with fields like "year," "count," and an array of holiday objects, making it easy to parse and utilize in applications.
