Returns the public holidays that the NGX is closed for, as maintained by the NGN Market team. These are the same holidays reflected in the GET /market/status reason: holiday response. By default only upcoming holidays (today or later) are returned. Pass upcoming=false to retrieve past holidays as well.
# Upcoming holidays (default)
curl "https://api.ngnmarket.com/v1/market/holidays" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ngm_live_YOUR_KEY"

# All holidays including past
curl "https://api.ngnmarket.com/v1/market/holidays?upcoming=false" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ngm_live_YOUR_KEY"
Each holiday object contains the date in YYYY-MM-DD format and the name of the holiday. Use this list to pre-compute non-trading days in your application rather than polling the status endpoint on each day.
