how to retrieve shabbat parsha

To retrieve the name of the parashat haShavua, we recommend you use the Jewish calendar REST API – a JSON interface for fetching Jewish calendar data (holidays, Torah readings, candle lighting times, etc).

For just an individual Shabbat:

https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal?v=1&cfg=json&maj=off&s=on&leyning=off&start=2025-04-26&end=2025-04-26

For an entire year:

https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal?v=1&cfg=json&maj=off&s=on&leyning=off&year=now

If you need the actual Torah reading details, use the Leyning (Torah Reading) API – full kriyah leyning on Shabbat and holidays, Triennial (optionally) for Shabbat, and weekday readings on Mondays & Thursdays.
