Czech Namedays Calendar API

Beginner's Pick Calendar / No Auth Required Beginner HTTP
Free to Use Varies (check documentation)

Overview

The Czech Namedays Calendar API lets you look up the Czech or Slovak nameday (svátek) associated with a given first name, or find whose nameday falls on a specific date. It is completely free with no authentication required and supports JSON responses. Responses are instant and lightweight, making it great for beginners.

Beginner Tip

No API key needed — call the endpoint directly. To get today's nameday, try https://api.abalin.net/today?country=cz. Supported country values are "cz" and "sk".

Available Data

event dates and names
holiday lists by country

What Can You Build?

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Null or missing name in response Queried a date that has no assigned nameday in that country
Not every date has a nameday; always check the field for null before using it in your UI.
400 Bad Request on name lookup Name contains Czech special characters that were not URL-encoded
URL-encode Czech characters before passing the name as a query parameter, e.g., "Tom%C3%A1%C5%A1" for "Tomáš".
Unsupported country error Passing a country code other than cz or sk
The API only supports "cz" (Czech) and "sk" (Slovak); any other value returns an error.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
