Extract holiday layning from API
Can you provide some direction on how to get layning values for Jewish holidays via the API
We've been using your Hebcal REST API to extract Torah information.
For example, here is the April REST call:From the items array, we find each of the parashat objects (i.e. category = parashat). For example:{"title": "Parashat Shmini","hebrew": "פרשת שמיני","date": "2016-04-02","category": "parashat","link": "http://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/shmini","leyning": {"7": "Leviticus 11:33 - 11:47","2": "Leviticus 9:17 - 9:23","5": "Leviticus 10:16 - 10:20","3": "Leviticus 9:24 - 10:11","torah": "Leviticus 9:1 - 11:47","triennial": {"4": "Leviticus 11:20 - 11:28","1": "Leviticus 11:1 - 11:8","6": "Leviticus 11:33 - 11:38","maftir": "Numbers 19:1 - 19:22 | Shabbat Parah","5": "Leviticus 11:29 - 11:32","3": "Leviticus 11:13 - 11:19","7": "Leviticus 11:39 - 11:47","2": "Leviticus 11:9 - 11:12"},"haftarah": "Ezekiel 36:16 - 36:38 | Shabbat Parah","1": "Leviticus 9:1 - 9:16","6": "Leviticus 11:1 - 11:32","4": "Leviticus 10:12 - 10:15","maftir": "Numbers 19:1 - 19:22 | Shabbat Parah"}}From each parashat, we inspect the "leyning" to extract maftir, haftarah, the aliyah, and Torah portion (i.e. "title").However, for Saturdays that are Jewish Holidays, the parashat object do not appear to be provided (ex. April 23, April 30).Can you provide some direction on how to get these prayer values for Jewish holidays?
Our REST API doesn't yet expose holiday Torah readings. This is a missing feature

In the interim, your best bet might to download CSV leyning spreadsheets that we post here, as they include the aliyah-by-aliyah breakdown:
5,14 1948 ,is 5 lyyr 5708 in Hebrew whay is the date exactly 70 years lated to the day
if may 14 1948 is 5,lyyar 5708 what is the exact date 70 years later in the georgen calender
70 years after 5 Iyyar 5708 on the Hebrew calendar would be 5 Iyyar 5778. You can convert that back to Gregorian at http://www.hebcal.com/converter/

Translation - How to?
Shalom,
How can i translate to hungarian language, to show the shabbat candle and other words in my language? Ty!
Is there a way to show English date followed by transliterated Hebrew date?
I want it to be like
"Sunday, May 24, 2016 | 4th Iyar 5776" or something similar
The Hebcal Alexa Skill
The Hebcal Alexa Skill is not recognizing my pronunciation of Hebcal (Heeb-kal). I have tried to speak faster, slower, from a closer distance, nothing works. Other skills work fine. Any recommendations?
Sorry to hear that Alexa is having trouble recognizing the name of our skill.
You can try saying "Alexa, open Hebcal"
issue with importing Yahrtzeit calendar to google or iphone
I am trying to download a 20 year yahrtzeit calendar to my google or iphone calendar. In both cases, the file is downloaded as an ics file, but when i try to view in the folder or import it into my calendar, I see it is a pdf. Is there a way to fix this? I would really like to have the reminders....Thanks!

Hello,
Hebcal.com does not provide Android apps, free or premium. We have been providing a Jewish holiday and calendar website since 1998. Recently, an unaffiliated 3rd party called BotenSoft released a similarly-named Android app called HebCal.
If you're looking for support for the unrelated BotenSoft product, please contact Nahum Ben-Porath of BotenSoft.
