Hello, thanks for using Hebcal!

We have added documentation for the lg= parameter to this API:

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

We don't see the error - could you explain which day in May or June is incorrectly shown as ניסן when in fact it's supposed to be סיון

Thanks for the clarification. You can definitely use this API to get exactly what you want. Just specify nx=off&nh=off&s=on

We don't appreciate this negative and corrosive language.

Hebcal is free software. Please take your business elsewhere. 

You can get a list of holiday names here:

And you'll find a list of parasha names here:

Hi, sorry, the converter API does not support Israel; it only supports Diaspora.

To get parasha haShavua via API for Israel, please use this advanced API instead:

https://www.hebcal.com/home/219/hebrew-date-converter-rest-api

This API is behaving correctly for Diaspora.

To get parasha haShavua via API for Israel, please use this advanced API

What app are you using? Depending on whether it's Outlook, macOS Calendar, Google Calendar, etc, you might be able to fix the problem you're seeing if you enable the preference/setting called "display event time in month view". 

Thanks for the clarification.

Actually, we haven't updated those APIs for any language, including Russian.

You might be able to query the Hebcal Events JSON API via JavaScript to be able to get what you're looking for. Here's an example URL that will pull the Hebrew date for every day for the current month. 

https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal/?v=1&cfg=json&year=now&month=now&lg=ru&d=on

This isn't an easy API to consume - you would have to scan the items in the results and find the one that matched today and then extract out the title.

A better approach might be to query the date converter API from JavaScript as such

https://www.hebcal.com/converter/?cfg=json

And then render the date in Russian using your own translation map (for example showing "Нисан" instead of "Nisan")

Hi, thanks again for your feedback. After experimenting with an 18-minute event many years ago, and later a 1-minute event (2014), we changed the Candle lighting and Havdalah events to be 0-minute duration starting in September 2015 to be consistent with how other calendars represent an instant in time.
