## Coverage
kayaposoft.com's "Enrico" holiday API, long cited as a free keyless public/school-holiday lookup covering ~100 countries across two API generations (v2.0, v3.0).

## Access
`GET https://kayaposoft.com/enrico/json/v3.0/?action=getPublicHolidaysForYear&year=2026&country=usa` — **403**, generic Apache-style `<title>403 Forbidden</title>` HTML (170 bytes), `server: openresty`, same for a valid country (`usa`) and an invalid one (`zz`). `GET https://kayaposoft.com/` (homepage, no query) — 200, confirming the host is reachable and the block is path-specific. Reproduced identically at 11:51Z and again at 11:57Z — v3.0 is **consistently and persistently** 403 across six minutes.
`GET https://kayaposoft.com/enrico/json/v2.0/?action=getHolidaysForYear&year=2026&country=usa&...` first attempt (11:51:46Z, the fourth of four real-action names fired in quick succession) — **HTTP 466**, a non-standard status code, custom "Access Forbidden" HTML (2,541 bytes). **Re-run alone, unhurried, six minutes later (11:57:14Z–11:57:50Z): 200**, real JSON (`[{"date":{"day":1,"month":1,"year":2026,...},"name":[{"lang":"en","text":"New Year's Day"}],"holidayType":"postal_holiday"},...]`), reproduced three more times at 2-second intervals with no further 466.

## Auth
None for either version.

## Rate limits
**v2.0's HTTP 466 is a burst-triggered WAF response, not a per-action block**: four distinct real-looking action names fired back-to-back from this lane's probe all 466'd, but the identical first request, issued on its own after a short pause, returned 200 cleanly and stayed clean on three immediate repeats. No `Retry-After` header accompanies the 466. v3.0's 403 showed no such recovery in the same window.

## Freshness
v2.0 holiday data itself is current for 2026 once reachable (`year=2026` rows returned on the successful re-probe).

## Known gaps
- **The brief's first-pass hypothesis ("v2.0 blocks every real action, effectively dead") was wrong and is corrected here** per this lane's own immediate re-verification, not a later outcome: v2.0's `getHolidaysForYear` and `getSupportedCountries` both work normally under light, spaced-out traffic and only 466 when several distinct queries are sent in a tight burst — exactly the pattern this lane's own candidate-action enumeration produced. An agent probing a handful of guessed action names quickly will see the 466 and could wrongly conclude the API is dead; one request at a time does not trigger it.
- v3.0 remains unconditionally 403 in every attempt (6 total, 6 minutes apart) regardless of pacing — that generation does appear retired or access-restricted independent of burst rate.
