nagerdate
Public holiday CLI for 123 countries (date.nager.at).
nagerdate is a single pure-Go binary. It reads public nagerdate data
over plain HTTPS, shapes it into clean records, and prints output that pipes
into the rest of your tools. No API key, nothing to run alongside it.
The same package is also a resource-URI driver,
so a host program like ant can address
nagerdate as nagerdate:// URIs.
Install
go install github.com/tamnd/nagerdate-cli/cmd/nagerdate@latest
Or grab a prebuilt binary from the releases, or run
the container image:
docker run --rm ghcr.io/tamnd/nagerdate:latest --help
Usage
nagerdate page <path> # fetch one page as a record
nagerdate page <path> -o json # as JSON, ready for jq
nagerdate page <path> --template '{{.Body}}' # just the readable body text
nagerdate links <path> # the pages it links to, one per line
nagerdate --help # the whole command tree
Every command shares one output contract:
-o table|markdown|json|jsonl|csv|tsv|url|raw, --fields to pick columns,
--template for a custom line, and -n to limit. The default adapts to where
output goes (a color-aware table on a terminal, JSONL in a pipe), so the same
command reads well by hand and parses cleanly downstream.
This is a fresh scaffold. It ships one example resource type, page, wired end
to end. Model the real nagerdate records in nagerdate/ and declare their
operations in nagerdate/domain.go; each one becomes a command, an HTTP
route, and an MCP tool at once.
Serve it
The same operations are available over HTTP and as an MCP tool set for agents,
with no extra code:
nagerdate serve --addr :7777 # GET /v1/page/<path> returns NDJSON
nagerdate mcp # speak MCP over stdio
Use it as a resource-URI driver
nagerdate registers a nagerdate domain the way a program registers a
database driver with database/sql. A host enables it with one blank import:
import _ "github.com/tamnd/nagerdate-cli/nagerdate"
Then ant (or any program that links the package)
dereferences nagerdate:// URIs without knowing anything about nagerdate:
ant get nagerdate://page/<path> # fetch the record
ant cat nagerdate://page/<path> # just the body text
ant ls nagerdate://page/<path> # the pages it links to, each addressable
ant url nagerdate://page/<path> # the live https URL
Development

Releasing
Push a version tag and GitHub Actions runs GoReleaser, which builds the
archives, Linux packages, the multi-arch GHCR image, checksums, SBOMs, and a
cosign signature:
git tag v0.1.0
git push --tags
The Homebrew and Scoop steps self-disable until their tokens exist, so the first
release works with no extra secrets.
