Usage Pattern

  1. Use $APIPICK_API_KEY env var as the x-api-key header value; if not set, ask the user for their apipick API key
  2. Convert a country name to ISO code if the user provides a full name (e.g. "China" → CN, "United Kingdom" → GB)
  3. Make the GET request with country and optional year
  4. Present the holidays as a sorted list with dates and names
