Holiday data source
How DayBridge handles public holiday, weekend, country calendar, and business-day data for browser-side planning tools.
Current data approach
DayBridge is a static planning tool. 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 refreshes rolling future-year country calendars from the Nager.Date public holiday API. If a response is unavailable, the build falls back to local data for launch resilience.

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.
- Countries with missing future-year data are excluded from those generated year pages until a reliable source is available.
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 from the Nager.Date public holiday API. The country calculators default to nationally applicable holidays.
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.
