Wikipedia used to have a "on this day" api, not sure if it exists anymore also found this where you can get historical events, births and deaths of a date.

As this is not a important part of the system the api does not have to be long time avalible if it goes down we just remove the view BUT i does have to be legal to use. I believe this will be fairly short research so this issue involves.

  1. Can we use the api
  2. if it ok to use create a view that shows the data.
