Fair question. Sri Lanka's holiday system is… let's say
“vibrant”. Between statutory holidays, poya days, ad-hoc
changes, and overlapping observances, things can get
unpredictable. This project focuses on verified data only from
official government sources, updated annually, structured
properly, and delivered in a developer-friendly format.
No
guesswork. No “random blog from 2014.”
Easy. All holiday data is available directly on GitHub. Perfect
if you just want the data without touching the API.
You can download holidays in multiple formats:
JSON,
CSV,
ICS (Calendar),
XML.
Check releases
for direct downloads.
Straight from the source — literally:
The State Ministry
of Home Affairs, The Department of Government Printing,
Government Gazette publications.
No scraping. No guessing. No
“my uncle said it's a holiday.”
It's free. It runs on a basic Vercel plan. So yes — if you hammer it with thousands of requests per minute, you'll probably get a 429 (Too Many Requests) and things will slow down. Be nice. Cache your requests. Everyone stays happy.
