Just Yom tov calender.

sherry-bevels-0p 2 years ago • updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 years ago • 5

I know the yom tovs are in bold on the hebcal calender but just want a yom tov calender please.


a yom tov calender would allow one to know there is no work simply by the fact that the entry exists. No I interpretation or further analysis needed.

We've added a feature for IFTTT and other APIs where you can append ?yto=1 to a Hebcal URL so the events that show up are only yom tov holidays.

For example:

https://download.hebcal.com/v4/CAFAAWoBc4ABAZgBAaABAQ/hebcal.ics?yto=1

For Gregorian year 2023, for example, only the following holidays would be considered Yom Tov:

Thu 06 AprPesach I
Fri 07 AprPesach II
Wed 12 AprPesach VII
Thu 13 AprPesach VIII
Fri 26 MayShavuot I
Sat 27 MayShavuot II
Sat 16 SepRosh Hashana 5784
Sun 17 SepRosh Hashana II
Mon 25 SepYom Kippur
Sat 30 SepSukkot I
Sun 01 OctSukkot II
Sat 07 OctShmini Atzeret
Sun 08 OctSimchat Torah

I think it would be helpful to add a button by major holidays giving the option to exclude days that work can be performed.

Thanks for the clarification about the intended use case. Knowing that it's for IFTTT, we may be able to do this faster by accepting a URL parameter like yomTovOnly=1 at the end of the iCalendar URL. It vastly simplifies our implementation when there is no user interface required. It would require hand-editing the Hebcal download URL to append the correct suffix, but generally IFTTT users are comfortable with that kind of editing.

This would be super helpful for Ifttt, I would want my calendar to only have non-workable days for automations, so I would exclude c"h, Purim, chanukah, etc
