Here is the list of all countries.

need to replace en.indian.official#[email protected] in url.

https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/**en.uk%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com**/events?key=YourApiKey

highlighted part need to replace. If you get authentication error then replace

# with %23 and @ with %40

Due some parsing issue it gives authentication issue.

Yes, using Google API you can do that.

  • Create an API app in the google developer account

  • From the "Credentials" tab you can create an API key, you get something like this AIzaSyBcOT_DpEQysiwFmmmZXupKpnrOdJYAhhM

  • Then, you can access holidays calendar using this URL

    https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/en.uk%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/events?key=<YOUR API KEY>

google provides API for holiday list.

https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/en.uk%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/events?key=YourApiKey

  1. like we want holiday list for USA

then, change this text in url

calendars/en.usa

Example :- https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/en.usa%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/events?key=YourApiKey

after this,

  1. we get all Holiday event list in "items" Array.

like this,

 "items": [
  {
   "kind": "calendar#event",
   "etag": "\"3101513576000000\"",
   "id": "20200101_60o30dr46oo30c1g60o30dr56g",
   "status": "confirmed",
   "htmlLink": "https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=MjAyMDAxMDFfNjBvMzBkcjQ2b28zMGMxZzYwbzMwZHI1NmcgZW4udXNhI2hvbGlkYXlAdg",
   "created": "2019-02-21T13:46:28.000Z",
   "updated": "2019-02-21T13:46:28.000Z",
   "summary": "New Year's Day",
   "creator": {
    "email": "en.usa#[email protected]",
    "displayName": "Holidays in United States",
    "self": true
   },
   "organizer": {
    "email": "en.usa#[email protected]",
    "displayName": "Holidays in United States",
    "self": true
   },
   "start": {
    "date": "2020-01-01"
   },
   "end": {
    "date": "2020-01-02"
   },
   "transparency": "transparent",
   "visibility": "public",
   "iCalUID": "[email protected]",
   "sequence": 0
  },
  {
.........

we will get all detail in there like, Holiday name of day in "summary" key

"summary": "New Year's Day",
