Liturgical Calendar

Get liturgical calendar data

OperationalCredits 1 per callp50 233msCalendarStar

Overview

Liturgical Calendar works by analyzing the data provided and returning the dates of the Liturgical Calendar for a given year. It uses various sources to determine the data and returns the dates.

Endpoint

One host, one path per API. The block below shows this call in four languages; every one of them is the same HTTP request. Making requests covers the timeouts, retries and parameter rules that apply to all of them. The SDKs wrap the same call in a typed client.

GEThttps://api.apiverve.com/v1/liturgicalcalendar
curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/liturgicalcalendar?month=2&year=2025" \
  -H "x-api-key: your_api_key_here"
const res = await fetch('https://api.apiverve.com/v1/liturgicalcalendar?month=2&year=2025', {
  headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your_api_key_here' },
});

if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);

const { data } = await res.json();
console.log(data);
import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/liturgicalcalendar?month=2&year=2025",
    headers={"x-api-key": "your_api_key_here"},
    timeout=15,
)
res.raise_for_status()

print(res.json()["data"])
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/liturgicalcalendar?month=2&year=2025", nil)
	req.Header.Set("x-api-key", "your_api_key_here")

	res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer res.Body.Close()

	out, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body)
	fmt.Println(string(out))
}

Replace your_api_key_here with the key from your dashboard. When the inputs arrive as a list rather than one at a time, batch requests run up to 200 of them through this same API in a single call.

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — there is no token exchange and no per-endpoint scope to configure. Authentication covers creating, rotating and revoking keys.

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Parameters

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

ParameterTypeDescription
monthOptionalintegerThe month to get Liturgical Calendar data for (default: current month)
range 1–12
yearOptionalPremiumintegerThe year to get Liturgical Calendar data for (default: current year)
range 1900–2100

Response

Every API returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape. Response format covers the envelope, the other output formats and how premium fields are withheld.
