Hi R experts,
Currently, manually noting down the public holidays by googling year by year. But can we somehow automate this ? e.g.
France public holidays in 2010,2011,2012,-......2020 or Italy
Crude way:
There are several suggestions for data sources for public holidays by country in this thread on the Open Data stack. I think you'd be much better off working with xml or JSON:
Here's an API where you can get holidays by year and country: https://date.nager.at/Api (e.g., France's public holidays in 2010)
Thanks for recommendation. Actually, I looked in API docs and also for an example. But there was no example with R starter code. I am actually new to web scrape. Do you have a starter code for this API.
Earlier, I had used Darksky API but that had much more than just a starter code.
See the jsonlite vignette "Fetching JSON data from REST APIs": https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/jsonlite/vignettes/json-apis.html
Thanks. This explained well. jsonlite::fromJSON("https://date.nager.at/api/v2/publicholidays/2000/FR") is the way to extract
