API for Upcoming Events

API for Upcoming Events

Multiple data streams in just one API

Forget fortune tellers and crystal balls: the closest we can get to reliably looking into the future is searching for an event online and manually adding it to our calendars … or worse, spreadsheets. Well, until now, that is. PredictHQ’s API makes it easy to see at a glance when unscheduled and scheduled events are happening, where. We collate and aggregate all of these events into one handy place, so you can see what events are happening and when, foretell how likely they’re going to impact your profit margins, then come up with a plan to make the most of these events or mitigate their impact. Store our location-based event data so you can search and analyze your own local copy.

Ranked Events

Not sure what events matter most? Don’t worry - we’ve sorted them for you

When your customers are looking for things to do, it pays to be in the know about what upcoming events are on the horizon too. PredictHQ’s API gives you access to millions of unscheduled and scheduled events across 18 categories - and counting - and enables you to find relevant events to your business with a simple REST call. Our smart in-house ranking algorithm assigns a numerical rank to every piece of event data we store, so you can filter from major to minor events and see at a glance which ones you should pay special attention to. And the possibilities of what you can do with our data are endless. Find out where and when major concerts or sporting fixtures are happening, then adjust your room rates and taxi fares accordingly. If local events have the potential to encourage more customers to walk through your restaurant doors, roster more staff, order more food, and create foolproof marketing campaigns to get more derrieres on seats. Take advantage of recurring events like conferences and expos to encourage more people to book early. PredictHQ’s smart event visibility doesn’t just stop at scheduled events though; receiving data about unscheduled events like airport delays, severe weather or even terror events enables you to react immediately and quickly communicate with your customer base.

Get alerts on upcoming events

Be the first to know so you can make business decisions sooner 

Many demand forecasting practitioners and data experts can use historical event data to understand the economic impact of events and improve forecasting accuracy. But when events unexpectedly change or are rescheduled, you need a way to receive real time updates and make faster decisions around your business operations.

Making Flat Event Data Intelligent

As a consumer, it’s a serious time-waster trying to discover cool things to do across countless event sources, not to mention dealing with FoMO because you don’t know what’s going on around you and why there are so many people out and about. Enter stage left, PredictHQ. Our data processing pipeline pulls multiple data streams and third party APIs into one smart information source so all the scheduled and unscheduled events that could impact your industry can be found in one handy place, meaning you can inform your customers too. We make it really easy to find the data you need. Lookup events by searching within a geographical radius, using IATA codes or geographical place names. You can query multiple event categories and locations at the same time, and get JSON responses. Integrate our data with any platform thanks to our easy-to-use API. We have Python and JavaScript SDKs available too. We use the OAuth 2.0 standard for authentication, and access tokens are required to grant application access to the tools available in the API. Developers won’t need to spend precious time capturing, cleaning and maintaining disparate data sources - we do it for them! - plus our API is versioned for easier maintenance. See?
