Steps a workflow can run in The Rosary API.

  • Get the daily rosaryGet one day's rosary: which mysteries are prayed, the liturgical season, and links to the audio and video recordings. Ask for today, the day either side of it, any date, or a day at random. The service decides what today is in New York rather than where the workflow runs, so the result carries the date it actually served and says whether that is the date you meant.
  • Get a nine day novenaGet nine consecutive days of the rosary, starting today or on a date you give, for scheduling a novena or posting one day at a time. The service slices its calendar to build this, so a start date near the end of the published year comes back with fewer than nine days and says nothing about it; this step reports the count and whether the run is complete.
  • Get a rosary to prayGet a whole rosary in the order it is prayed: every prayer, which decade it belongs to, how many times it is said, and each mystery's scripture and fruit. Ask for today or a date and the mysteries follow the liturgical season, which the service's own weekday routes do not: on a Sunday in Lent they would give the Glorious rather than the Sorrowful. The prayers arrive from the service with the line breaks written as literal characters, and they are repaired here, so the text is ready to post or read aloud.
  • Get the fifty four day novenaGet the fifty four day rosary novena: twenty seven days offered in petition and twenty seven in thanksgiving, rotating through the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious mysteries. Take the plan to schedule the whole devotion, or one day to pray it. The service has no way to ask for a single day, so it sends roughly a megabyte of prayers every time; this step keeps only what was asked for. It also leaves the first decade's Our Father blank on 33 of the 54 days, which is filled in from its own prayer list unless you turn that off.
  • Get the mysteriesGet the mysteries to meditate on: the five of one set, all twenty, or whichever set today calls for. Each carries its scripture reference, the passage itself, and the fruit it is prayed for, as plain text and as HTML. Asking for today reads the calendar first, so the answer follows the liturgical season rather than the day of the week.
  • Get a prayerGet one of the eight prayers the rosary is made of, or all of them: the Sign of the Cross, the Apostles' Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary, the Glory Be, the Hail Holy Queen, the Oh My Jesus and the Final Prayer. Each comes as plain text with its line breaks and as HTML, so it can go straight into a message or an email. Names are matched loosely, so Ave Maria and Salve Regina find the right prayers.
  • List the rosary calendarBrowse the year of rosary days the service publishes, filtered by mysteries, season, weekday or month, for building a schedule or counting how a year falls. This route is served from a different file than the daily ones and can be a year behind them, so the result reports which years it actually covers and whether the current one is among them; use Find the next rosary day when you need dates you can rely on being current.
  • Find the next rosary dayFind the next day that prays a given set of mysteries, falls in a season, or lands on a weekday, for scheduling a reminder or planning ahead. The service has no search of any kind, so the days are read forward nine at a time using its novena route, and the search stops the moment a day matches: a match four days out costs one request. Give at least one thing to look for.
  • Check the service statusCheck whether the service is up and still publishing today's rosary, as a value to branch on rather than a step that fails. Answering at all and answering with a rosary are reported separately, because the service publishes whole years at a time and will keep answering cheerfully with nothing once its calendar runs past the end of the last year it was given. That is the failure worth watching for.
