count_working_days

Read-onlyIdempotent

PAID ($0.002). Working days in a date range for a country: weekends (Egypt's Fri–Sat handled) and statutory public holidays applied, with the holidays hit by name and the next working day after the range. Range max 366 days. Pass api_key if you have one (instant card checkout at /pricing); otherwise the response explains how to pay via x402. The evaluation country is free to try (see list_series). Optional receipt (boolean, default false): on a paid success, include an Ed25519 answer receipt at no extra USDC. An answer receipt is not a series certified extract (GET /v1/certified/{country}/{series} is $0.10 and is not an MCP tool) and is not legal advice. Verify with verify_answer_receipt against /certified/public-key.
