Byrthdays is a tool to list people with birthdays from your macOS contacts.

Usage:
  byrthdays [-d <days>] [-o <pretty|json|xml|csv>] [-t <size>] [-g]

Options:
  -d  extract only birthdays within the given number of days (default 14; -1 for all)
  -o  to set the output format. Can be either 'pretty', 'json', 'xml' or 'csv' (default 'pretty')

I use the JSON output in my byrthdays widget for Übersicht. Could also be used in Alfred workflows or menu bar apps like BitBar.
