Browsing through a list of [free public APIs](https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis) I've found a service that provides national holidays for basically any country and any year via an API: [https://date.nager.at](https://date.nager.at). Knowing holidays is frequently needed for a correct calculation of workdays.

So 20 minutes later here is a small project that obtains holidays for any country, any year 🙂
