API reference / Events

Get one event

Written and maintained by The ProspectAPIs team

GET/v1/events/:id

GET /v1/events/:id is the ProspectAPIs operation getEvent, in the Events group of the REST API. One event read fresh from its platform, in the GET /v1/events shape. Billed as one event at GET /pricing events.price_per_event_usd once events are available; an unknown id is a free 404. Launching soon: answers 503 and charges nothing until GET /pricing reports events available. Cost: Launching soon. Send your API key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

How this fits with the rest of the events API, with worked examples, is in the event discovery guide.

Parameters

Responses

Every error answers with the same JSON body, an error string and sometimes a code; the errors page lists each status and when it happens. A per-key 429 carries Retry-After; see rate limits.

200 response fields

The event, and how it was read.

Code samples

Each sample sends the same request. Set PROSPECTAPIS_KEY in your environment first. Values come from the spec's examples; replace them with your own.

curl https://api.prospectapis.com/v1/events/luma.evt-AbC123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PROSPECTAPIS_KEY"

const res = await fetch("https://api.prospectapis.com/v1/events/luma.evt-AbC123", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.PROSPECTAPIS_KEY}` },
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status}: ${(await res.json().catch(() => ({}))).error ?? res.statusText}`);
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.prospectapis.com/v1/events/luma.evt-AbC123",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['PROSPECTAPIS_KEY']}"},
    timeout=30,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()
print(data)

Billing

Billing reserves before it serves: the call holds what it may cost, serves at most what that hold covers, and refunds the rest when the response closes. Any non-2xx answer refunds the whole hold, so a failed call costs nothing. The response reports your balance in X-Credits-Remaining.
