# Market Holidays
> List NGX public holidays when the exchange is closed.
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`](/api-reference/market/status) `reason: holiday` response.
By default only upcoming holidays (today or later) are returned. Pass `upcoming=false` to retrieve past holidays as well.
```bash curl theme={null}
# 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"
```
```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
const res = await fetch('https://api.ngnmarket.com/v1/market/holidays', {
headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer ngm_live_YOUR_KEY' },
});
const { data } = await res.json();
// data.holidays — array of { id, date, name, created_at }
// data.count — total number of holidays returned
```
```python Python theme={null}
import requests
res = requests.get(
'https://api.ngnmarket.com/v1/market/holidays',
headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer ngm_live_YOUR_KEY'},
)
data = res.json()['data']
for h in data['holidays']:
print(h['date'], h['name'])
```
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.
