Hebrew Calendar vs Non-Working Days

Hebcal converts between Gregorian and Hebrew dates and computes Shabbat start/end times, holiday dates, Torah readings, and the Daf Yomi study cycle for any location, driven by the same open-source engine (@hebcal/core) that runs the hebcal.com website. Every endpoint is keyless JSON (or RSS/iCal on other routes) under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, so results can be reused commercially as long as Hebcal is credited. It's rate-limited to keep the free service polite — no more than 90 requests per 10-second window — and the once-http-only backend now serves over HTTPS as well.

icsdb is an open-data repository of pre-built .ics calendar files enumerating official non-working days for France (and its overseas territories), Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, the UK's home nations, and the US, maintained on GitHub rather than served through a query API. Consumers fetch the raw .ics files directly off raw.githubusercontent.com (which serves them with open CORS) and import them into any calendar tool or icalendar-parsing library; there's no key, rate limit, or cost, but the project itself has had no commits since 2020.
