Using HolidayOps

Syed Ahmer Shah edited this page Oct 25, 2026 · 1 revision

For people who want answers about working days without writing code. The site also has a step-by-step guide at /guide/ in English, Urdu and Arabic.

1. Check a date

Open the playground, choose a country (type to search the list) and click a day. It tells you whether the day is a working day and why: a weekend, a public holiday, or a weekend day the country moved to a working day. No account needed.

2. Sign up

Enter your name, email and a password of 10 or more characters, then type the 6-digit code we email you. You can also continue with Google or Microsoft. Turn on two-factor sign-in in account settings.

3. Make an organization

An organization is your company's shared space. Invite colleagues by email with one of four roles:

Role Can
Owner everything an admin can, plus API keys, granting the owner role and deleting the organization
Admin manage members, webhooks and calendars, read the audit log
Member create and edit calendars and their days, create iCal feeds
Viewer read only

4. Add a calendar

Pick one or more countries and regions. A calendar can merge several, for example Pakistan and Saudi Arabia for a team in both: the holidays of every source count. The weekend follows the first country's own rules (Friday and Saturday in Saudi Arabia, Saturday and Sunday in Pakistan) unless you set a company weekend.

5. Mark your own days

Click a day to add a company closure, a half day, or an extra working day. Every answer from the app, the feeds, the digest and the API respects them.

6. Share it

  • iCal feed: copy the private link into Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar. Revoke or rotate it at any time.
  • Monthly digest: an email with the next 30 days, in the reader's language.
  • Webhooks: see Webhooks.

7. Connect software (optional)

An owner creates an API key in the organization's settings (shown once; copy it then). Then follow the API Quick Reference.

Your data

Account settings let you download all your data, see every signed-in device and sign any of them out, or delete your account.
