# Create holiday (deprecated)

`POST /holidays-core/v2/holiday`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://sandbox.pismolabs.io/holidays-core`
- URL: `https://sandbox.pismolabs.io/holidays-core/holidays-core/v2/holiday`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

> **Deprecated.**

**DEPRECATED**. Call the [Add holiday](ref:post-add-holiday-to-calendar) endpoint instead.

Create a holiday—a day on which your company's offices are closed for normal business activity though online financial transactions and other business activity could still be occurring. 

**Note:** This endpoint is designed for transaction banking. For more information, refer to [Calendars and holidays in transaction banking](doc:calendars-and-holidays-in-transaction-banking).

## Request body

- PresenterCreateHolidayRequestV2: Create holiday for transaction banking payload
  - `name` string, required: Holiday name
  - `holiday_date` string, required: Holiday date. Format = yyyy-mm-dd.
  - `description` string: Holiday description
  - `administrative_division_id` integer: Administrative division ID. When passed as a parameter, either this or `external_id` is **REQUIRED**. **Note:** Holiday metadata always takes precedence over the administrative division settings. If a holiday is not specifically configured using the [transaction banking parameters](doc:posting-transactions-on-holidays#parameters), the platform defaults to the settings in the administrative division's `metadata` object when processing transactions.
  - `external_id` string: Existing ID value from another process or application. When passed as a parameter, either this or `administrative_division_id` is **REQUIRED**.
  - `metadata` MetadataV2: A valid JSON schema, as specified in https://json-schema.org/specification.html. Used to register the rules that are used to authorize the transaction. You can use metadata <a href="https://developers.pismo.io/pismo-docs/docs/posting-transactions-on-holidays#parameters">parameters</a> to specify holiday business rules. For details, refer to <a href="https://developers.pismo.io/pismo-docs/docs/posting-transactions-on-holidays">Posting Transactions on Holidays</a>. **Note**: This field must not be used to send Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Payment Card Industry (PCI) data, or any sensitive/regulated information. Metadata fields are intended for operational, non-sensitive data only. For sensitive data, use the specific parameters designed for that purpose. For more information, refer to [Get started with Pismo APIs](ref:get-started-with-pismo-apis#metadata).
