GET https://api.api.sh/calendar/v1/hijri

1 credit / call public data try it in the playground →

Converts a Gregorian date to the Hijri (Umm al-Qura) calendar, or a Hijri date to Gregorian: year, month number and name, day, and weekday.

Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Parameters

name	type	description
`date`	string	Gregorian date (YYYY-MM-DD, default today). Example: `2026-03-20`
`hijri_date`	string	Hijri date (YYYY-MM-DD) to convert to Gregorian instead, e.g. `1447-09-01`.

Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).

Example

curl "https://api.api.sh/calendar/v1/hijri?date=2026-03-20" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.api.sh/calendar/v1/hijri",
    params={"date": "2026-03-20"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()

const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/calendar/v1/hijri");
url.searchParams.set("date", "2026-03-20");

const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json();

Response

A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).

The fastest way to see the full response is the playground: it runs this endpoint with your account and shows the exact JSON.
