More information

It might be intentional, since sundays are no workdays anyway, nevertheless I found that Easter Sunday and Pentecost Sunday, both public holidays in Austria, are not listed when calling the API.

Until now, public holidays on a Sunday have not provided any added value. Do you have a specific case or is it purely a matter of principle?

[OtterKring]

I guess it is a matter of principle. If you have the information, why not return it and leave it to the "end user" if they need it or not?

May current use case:
I am working on an app showing the days of a month in a list, including weekends, replacing the weekday names with holiday names if the day is a holiday. While calculating Austria's holidays in code is very straight forward, I require other options to get this information for other countries. Otherwise I would have to do the global rollout without the holiday features.
The app is used to manage our employee's HomeOffice days. They are allowed, though, to "activate" a weekend day or holiday as a workday if the shifts require it or e.g. IT uses them as a service window to apply patches.
Again, yes, it would not do make me handle sundays differently if they are holidays, too, but I am sure, users would come back to me complaining about the "forgotten" holiday in the list.
