.. code-block:: python
from datetime import date
import holidays
us_holidays = holidays.US() # this is a dict-like object
# the below is the same, but takes a string:
us_holidays = holidays.country_holidays('US') # this is a dict-like object
nyse_holidays = holidays.NYSE() # this is a dict-like object
# the below is the same, but takes a string:
nyse_holidays = holidays.financial_holidays('NYSE') # this is a dict-like object
date(2015, 1, 1) in us_holidays # True
date(2015, 1, 2) in us_holidays # False
us_holidays.get('2014-01-01') # "New Year's Day"
The HolidayBase dict-like class will also recognize date strings and Unix timestamps:
.. code-block:: python
'2014-01-01' in us_holidays # True
'1/1/2014' in us_holidays # True
1388597445 in us_holidays # True
Some holidays may be only present in parts of a country:
.. code-block:: python
us_pr_holidays = holidays.country_holidays('US', subdiv='PR')
'2018-01-06' in us_holidays # False
'2018-01-06' in us_pr_holidays # True

We currently support 155 country codes. The standard way to refer to a country
is by using its ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, the same used for domain names, and
for a subdivision its ISO 3166-2 code. Some countries have common or foreign
names or abbreviations as aliases for their subdivisions. These are defined in
the (optional) subdivisions_aliases attribute.
Some of the countries support more than one language for holiday names output.
A default language is defined by default_language (optional) attribute
for each entity and is used as a fallback when neither user specified
language nor user locale language available. The default language code is
a ISO 639-1 code. A list of all languages supported by country is defined by
supported_languages (optional) attribute. If there is no designated
ISO 639-1 code then ISO 639-2 code_ can be used.
Many countries have other categories of holidays in addition to common (national-wide) holidays:
bank holidays, school holidays, additional (paid or non-paid) holidays, holidays of state or
public employees, religious holidays (valid only for these religions followers). A list of all
categories supported by country is defined by supported_categories (optional) attribute.
The following is a list of supported countries, their subdivisions followed by their aliases (if any) in brackets, available languages and additional holiday categories. All countries support PUBLIC holidays category by default. All other default values are highlighted with bold:

.. _ISO 10383 MIC: https://www.iso20022.org/market-identifier-codes
The standard way to refer to a financial market is to use its ISO 10383 MIC_
(Market Identifier Code) as a "country" code when available. The
following financial markets are available:
