ISO ordinal date converter

ISO 8601 defines two civil date forms that share the same year but express the day differently: the familiar calendar triple year-month-day, and the ordinal form year plus day-of-year from one through three hundred sixty-five or three hundred sixty-six.

Pipelines that store sequential day numbers, scientific datasets, logistics manifests, and compliance logs often need a lossless bridge between those shapes without depending on host language Date objects or time-zone quirks. This ISO ordinal date converter maps YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-DDD and the reverse direction with deterministic Gregorian leap arithmetic, rejects day-of-year values that exceed the true length of the year, and returns both representations plus structured fields in a single JSON payload. The browser widget runs free on your device; the prepaid API charges $0.002 per successful item when servers and SDKs need the same stable contract.

How to use it

Enter your values in the form above. The tool checks them before calculating and shows the result on the same page.

Check your inputs

Use the labels and units shown next to each field. If something is missing or outside the allowed range, the page points to the field to fix.

Use it again or automate it

Use the browser tool for individual checks and the API when you need the same capability in an automated workflow.

What you can do with it

Get an answer now

Enter one set of values and see the result without building a spreadsheet or script.

Compare scenarios

Change one value at a time and rerun the calculation to understand what affects the result.

Automate repeated work

Use the API when the same calculation needs to run inside your product or workflow.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/date/ordinal-date

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Call it from your stack

curl -X POST https://api.kit.forhosting.com/date/ordinal-date \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"date":"2024-03-15","calendar":"valor-ejemplo"}'

const res = await fetch("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/date/ordinal-date", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.KIT_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "date": "2024-03-15",
    "calendar": "valor-ejemplo"
  })
});
const { task_id } = await res.json();

import os, requests

res = requests.post(
    "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/date/ordinal-date",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['KIT_KEY']}"},
    json={
    "date": "2024-03-15",
    "calendar": "valor-ejemplo"
},
)
task_id = res.json()["task_id"]

<?php
$res = file_get_contents("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/date/ordinal-date", false, stream_context_create([
  "http" => [
    "method"  => "POST",
    "header"  => "Authorization: Bearer " . getenv("KIT_KEY") . "\r\nContent-Type: application/json",
    "content" => '{"date":"2024-03-15","calendar":"valor-ejemplo"}',
  ],
]));
$task = json_decode($res, true);

body := bytes.NewBufferString(`{"date":"2024-03-15","calendar":"valor-ejemplo"}`)
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/date/ordinal-date", body)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("KIT_KEY"))
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

Example request

{
  "date": "2024-03-15",
  "calendar": "valor-ejemplo"
}

Example response

{
  "task_id": "tsk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "type": "date.ordinal_date",
  "status": "queued",
  "_links": {
    "result": "/tasks/tsk_…/result"
  }
}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.

Pricing

Published price — no tokens, no invented credits. A failed task is never charged.

Errors
