Hello, there. Found a set of events where the Orthocal API doesn't work (returns server error).

List of API calls that don't work (there might probably be more):

• https://orthocal.info/api/julian/2024/4/8/
• https://orthocal.info/api/julian/2024/4/
• https://orthocal.info/api/gregorian/2024/3/26/
• https://orthocal.info/api/gregorian/2024/3/
• https://orthocal.info/api/julian/2025/4/
• https://orthocal.info/api/julian/2025/4/8/

Some notes (added it in case it's helpful with finding the reason for the bug):

• Though julian/2025/4/8/ fails, gregorian/2025/3/26/ works fine.
• Also julian/2024/4/ seems to have failed because there's an error in calculation of julian/2024/4/8/ i.e. month calculation seems to fail because one day of the sequence cannot be calculated.

Hope the issue can be resolved soon!

Also, could you please give me some information on when you are planning to look into this issue? I'm working on a personal project using this API and would like to know if I could continue soon or should postpone it for a bit.

The World English Bible (WEB) is the most well-regarded modern translation of the Bible in the public domain. It was the foundation for the Eastern Orthodox Bible. I think it would make an excellent addition to Orthocal.info as a more modern alternative to KJV. A USFX file is available (in fact, I believe that the editor of the WEB invented USFX).

@brianglass and I discussed this in private email and I believe he is open to it. I am opening an issue here to track work on this publicly.

I have been depending on titles in the Gospel Desk API, but not all days have at least one title. Could they? 🤔

I find only a few days without a title:

(orthocal) $ sqlite3 db.sqlite3 "select pdist, title from calendarium_day where pdist < 999 and title='';"
-76|
-75|
-74|
-73|
-72|
-71|
-69|
-68|
-67|
-66|
-65|
-64|
(orthocal) $ sqlite3 db.sqlite3 "select pdist, title from calendarium_day where pdist < -62;"
-77|Sunday of Zacchaeus
-76|
-75|
-74|
-73|
-72|
-71|
-70|Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee
-69|
-68|
-67|
-66|
-65|
-64|
-63|Sunday of the Prodigal Son

Would the following work?

-77|Sunday of Zacchaeus
-76|Monday after Zacchaeus Sunday
-75|Tuesday after Zacchaeus Sunday
-74|Wednesday after Zacchaeus Sunday
-73|Thursday after Zacchaeus Sunday
-72|Friday after Zacchaeus Sunday
-71|Saturday after Zacchaeus Sunday
-70|Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee
-69|Monday after Publican and Pharisee
-68|Tuesday after Publican and Pharisee
-67|Wednesday after Publican and Pharisee
-66|Thursday after Publican and Pharisee
-65|Friday after Publican and Pharisee
-64|Saturday after Publican and Pharisee
-63|Sunday of the Prodigal Son
