# The Official Holiday and Event API for Rust
[](https://github.com/sponsors/westy92)
Industry-leading Holiday and Event API for Rust. Over 5,000 holidays and thousands of descriptions. Trusted by the World’s leading companies. Built by developers for developers since 2011.
## Authentication
Access to the Holiday and Event API requires an API Key. You can get for one for FREE [here](https://apilayer.com/marketplace/checkiday-api#pricing), no credit card required! Note that free plans are limited. To access more data and have more requests, a paid plan is required.
## Installation
```console
cargo add holiday_event_api
```
## Example
```rust
use holiday_event_api::{HolidayEventApi, model::{GetEventsRequest, RateLimited, GetEventInfoRequest, SearchRequest}};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
// Get a FREE API key from https://apilayer.com/marketplace/checkiday-api#pricing
let client = HolidayEventApi::new("<your API key>".into(), None);
if client.is_err() {
println!("{}", client.unwrap_err());
return;
}
let client = client.unwrap();
// Get Events for a given Date
let events = client.get_events(GetEventsRequest {
// These parameters are all optional. These are their defaults:
date: Some("today".into()),
adult: Some(false),
timezone: Some("America/Chicago".into()),
}).await;
if events.is_err() {
println!("{}", events.unwrap_err());
return;
}
let events = events.unwrap();
let event = events.events.get(0).unwrap();
println!("Today is {}! Find more information at: {}.", event.name, event.url);
let rate_limit = events.get_rate_limit();
println!("Rate limit remaining: {}/{} (month).\n", rate_limit.remaining_month, rate_limit.limit_month);
// Get Event Information
let event_info = client.get_event_info(GetEventInfoRequest {
id: event.id.to_string(),
// These parameters can be specified to calculate the range of event_info.event.occurrences
start: None, // Some(2020),
end: None, // Some(2030),
}).await;
if event_info.is_err() {
println!("{}", event_info.unwrap_err());
return;
}
let event_info = event_info.unwrap();
println!("The Event's hashtags are {:?}.", event_info.event.hashtags);
// Search for Events
let query = "pizza day";
let search = client.search(SearchRequest {
query: query.into(),
// These parameters are the defaults but can be specified:
adult: None, // Some(true),
}).await;
if search.is_err() {
println!("{}", search.unwrap_err());
return;
}
let search = search.unwrap();
println!("Found {} events, including {}, that match the query \"{}\".", search.events.len(), search.events.first().unwrap().name, query)
}
```
