Is there a comprehensive API or JSON/XML list with public/bank holidays worldwide?

api calendar

As I´m building a web app that includes a calendar as one of it´s features and that can be used all over the world, as a connivence to users I´d like them to easily include their local holidays. Ideally I´d like to just store their country and pull a list from an API.

Ideal would be a API that on request gives back the bank holidays for a given year and country.

What I´ve found so far:

wikipedia.org - Holiday country list

  • Nice list, probably a nightmare to scrape and complile into a computer readable list for the next years.

bank-holidays.com

  • Commercial Vendor, seems to have everything, although pricing to the updated feed is unclear. Did not yet respond to my email. Publicly available pricepoint is 250EUR, but per download/update.

Google calendar lists

e.g. en.german%[email protected] Seems nice, not always fully up to date and not sure if it´s ok to use that information.

Countries supported by google: Australian, Austrian, Brazilian, Cambodian, Canadian, China, Christian, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hong Kong (C), Hong Kong, Indian, Indonesian, Iranian, Irish, Islamic, Italian, Japanese, Jewish, Malaysian, Mexican, New Zealand, Norwegian, Philippines, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Singapore, South Africa, South Korean, Spain, Swedish, Taiwan, Thai, UK, US & Vietnamese Holidays

Enrico Service looks promising, at least for little site without high reliability demand
