## 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

See [references/api_reference.md](references/api_reference.md) for full response field descriptions.
