3 years ago We recently released some experimental support for a REST yahrzeit API.
It's an enhancement to our existing Yahrzeit + Anniversary Calendar page at https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit
It's not documented formally yet. The basic idea is that you'll need to POST x-www-form-urlencoded data to https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit with the special parameter cfg=json
For example:
curl \
--compressed \
-H 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-raw 'cfg=json&v=yahrzeit&n1=Example1&t1=Birthday&d1=15&m1=4&y1=1983&s1=on&n2=Example2&t2=Yahrzeit&d2=13&m2=11&y2=2008&s2=off&hebdate=on&years=4' \
'https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit' If you post this case you'll get back text/json response instead of text/html
