LectServe vs UK Bank Holidays

LectServe is a one-person hobby project publishing the daily and Sunday Revised Common/ACNA lectionary readings for Protestant and Anglican churches, with morning/evening prayer citations linked out to Bible Gateway. It answers in either shape depending on the path: /today and /date/YYYY-MM-DD return JSON, while a path like /html/daily/YYYY-MM-DD returns a full HTML page meant to be embedded or scraped — and there's no API key, rate limit, or pricing of any kind — it's maintained by its author, Michael Wayne Arnold, as a labor of love alongside his personal site.

The UK government publishes England & Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland bank holidays as a single static JSON file at gov.uk, listing each holiday's date, title, and whether it's a “substitute day” moved from a weekend. It's official, authoritative, and requires nothing beyond an HTTP GET — no key, no rate limit, and it's licensed under the Open Government Licence for reuse including commercially.
