External services
All integrations are optional and require administrator authorization. Requests run on an administrator refresh or a scheduled WordPress task, not from visitors’ browsers or normal shortcode display.
Holiday requests send the configured country, optional subdivision, year/date and relevant filters; clock requests send a UTC timezone. Credentials are included when required. Operators also receive your server’s IP address, request time and plugin-version user agent.
The plugin does not add visitor IPs, cookies, names, email addresses or page content to these requests.
Choose a plan permitting your intended use and caching, including any commercial-use, sponsorship or attribution obligations. Credentials are not supplied. Cached results expire; keep scheduled tasks working and clear caches on subscription cancellation.
Providers govern their own logs and retention.

HolidayAPI-, Enrico- and TimeAPI-compatible adapters
These have no default endpoint. Each requires an authorized HTTPS endpoint, the actual operator’s terms and privacy URLs, and confirmation of permitted requests and caching. Without these settings, no new request is made.
- HolidayAPI-compatible: sends key, country/subdivision, year and optional public filtering for holiday dates; cache use is capped at 24 hours.
- Enrico-compatible: sends getHolidaysForYear, year, country, optional region/type and configured authentication for holiday dates.
- TimeAPI-compatible: sends timeZone=Etc/UTC and configured authentication for clock synchronization.
Provide your operator’s actual policy links in the settings and, where appropriate, your site’s privacy notice. Documentation is available in the built-in Service directory.
Custom holiday or clock service
Configure a public HTTPS GET JSON endpoint, field mappings and optional header, query-key or Bearer authentication. It receives configured parameters and applicable country/region/year/date or UTC-timezone placeholders. No visitor data is added.
Enter the actual operator’s terms/privacy URLs and authorize permitted caching before use. No service or policy URL is preselected; the plugin stores, but does not certify, the supplied policies. OAuth, signed requests, POST-only APIs, XML and NTP are not supported.
Privacy
Schedules, settings, credentials and service caches are stored in your WordPress database. Public schedules expose display information through a read-only endpoint; private schedules do not produce public output. Credentials are excluded from public output and exports.
Supported encryption is required to save new keys. No tracking cookies or visitor analytics are added. md.
