Events API for Business Intelligence

Events API for Business Intelligence

Multiple data streams in just one API

The secret to a successful business isn’t mere luck or good fortune, it’s harnessing the knowledge and power of the future to make great business decisions. But business intelligence hasn’t always been easy to harness. Until now.

PredictHQ gives you business intelligence that works on a platter. We collate and aggregate local, national and international events into one handy place, so you know what real world events are happening and when. From there, our intuitive ranking algorithm tells you what events are more likely to impact your business compared to others, so you can see at a glance which ones you need to pay special attention to. We give you solid data that’s enhanced with additional insights that leads the way for actionable results. All of this adds up to the ability to make business decisions that leverage increased demand or mitigate a drop in demand, resulting in positive financial results.

We don’t simply pull together a bunch of data and leave it at that. Every piece of high quality event data that we store is enhanced with additional data that’s used in our ranking and events all run through our de-duplication process making it a clean, intelligent and actionable dataset to work with, so it’s easier for you to analyze or perform data modeling with. Use our demand intelligence API to return details about thousands of events that could impact your business, or download and store your own local copy of events, so you can use them for data modeling and analysis, or enriching your own dataset to produce and sell derivative works.

Ranked Events

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

Find millions of scheduled and unscheduled global events from more than 18 categories (and counting) that could cause business impact, then react accordingly. Concerts, sporting fixtures, public holidays, school holidays, natural disasters, airport delays … you’ll find them all and more in PredictHQ. Our proprietary ranking algorithm assigns a numerical rank to every event so you can filter from most to least important. Then, what you do with your new-found BI is totally up to you. Adapt your pricing strategy to make the most of ebbs and flows in demand. Make more rooms in hotels and seats on flights available, order more inventory and roster on more staff ahead of a big rush, send more cab drivers to the airport when you know there are flight delays, or create an app that can communicate with your customers using location-based data. We’re not fortune-tellers, but we are future-thinkers, and that kind of intel gives you the insights you need to make great business decisions.

Making Flat Event Data Intelligent

Stop wasting time manually collecting event data that doesn’t mean much just by looking at it, when you could already be analyzing the data instead. Our data processing pipeline pulls multiple data streams and third party APIs into one intuitive information source (we even manually collate data when we have to), so all the event information that could impact your business can be found in one handy place, saving you and your developers hours of valuable time. Every piece of data that we store is enhanced with additional intelligence, giving you the best possible event dataset to use when enriching your own. Lookup events by searching within a geographical radius, using IATA codes or geographical place names. You can query multiple categories and locations simultaneously and get JSON responses. Integrate our data with any platform, made even easier thanks to Python and JavaScript SDKs. 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. We make your developers’ lives easier too, because they don’t need to spend precious time capturing, cleaning and maintaining disparate data sources, plus our API is versioned for easier maintenance, reducing operational costs while giving you the intel you need to take your business further. We're focused on high quality data that teams can use to enhance precision prediction. Now, that’s intelligence.
