API reference / Events

Search events in a city

Written and maintained by The ProspectAPIs team

GET/v1/events

GET /v1/events is the ProspectAPIs operation searchEvents, in the Events group of the REST API. Public Luma and Partiful events in one city, soonest first, in one record shape, read without an account. Billed per event returned at GET /pricing events.price_per_event_usd once events are available; an empty page is free. Launching soon: answers 503 and charges nothing until GET /pricing reports events available. sources gives each platform's status: ok, not_covered (the platform does not cover the city or filter; Partiful publishes no category) or unreadable with a reason. Pass next_cursor back as cursor for the next page. 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

An unknown query parameter is refused with a 400 rather than ignored, so a typo never widens a search you pay for.

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

A page of events. The body is a EventList.

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 -G https://api.prospectapis.com/v1/events \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PROSPECTAPIS_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "city=city" \
  --data-urlencode "since=2026-10-01" \
  --data-urlencode "limit=10"

const params = new URLSearchParams({ city: "city", since: "2026-10-01", limit: "10" });
const res = await fetch(`https://api.prospectapis.com/v1/events?${params}`, {
  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",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['PROSPECTAPIS_KEY']}"},
    params={"city": "city", "since": "2026-10-01", "limit": 10},
    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.
