Holiday data source
How DayBridge handles public holiday and business-day data.
Current data approach
DayBridge is a static MVP. Holiday lists are built into the generated pages from a local cache so calculators can run quickly in the browser without requiring login or server-side requests.
Source and refresh process
The project includes a holiday fetch script that can refresh country calendars from the Nager.Date public holiday API. If a response is unavailable, the build falls back to local sample data for launch validation.
Known limitations
- Regional holidays may not apply uniformly across a whole country.
- Substitute holidays and one-time announcements can change after data is fetched.
- Company holidays, bank calendars, court calendars, payroll calendars, and shipping calendars may differ from public holiday lists.
How to use the data
Use DayBridge results for planning, estimates, and search validation. For official legal, tax, payroll, customs, shipping, or contract deadlines, verify the responsible official source before acting.
Frequently asked questions
Where does DayBridge holiday data come from?
The current build uses a local holiday cache generated for the MVP. The cache can be refreshed from the Nager.Date public holiday API and falls back to local sample data when a country is not available.
Is the holiday data official?
No. DayBridge uses the data for planning tools and SEO validation. Official deadlines should be checked with government, bank, payroll, carrier, legal, or company calendars.
Why can holiday counts differ from my calendar?
Holiday rules can depend on state, province, region, workplace, industry, substitute days, and one-time government announcements. DayBridge currently focuses on a simple country-level planning view.
