Events API for Current Events

API for Current Events

Multiple data streams in just one API

Water cooler chat keeps everyone in the office connected. But when conversation revolves around your favorite artist announcing a concert close by, or severe weather that has closed roads, flooded streets and delayed flights - and this is the first you’ve heard about it - it’s easy to feel out of the loop.

We get it. It doesn’t matter how organized you are; some events just happen out of the blue. PredictHQ makes it easier to deal with unscheduled events that could impact your business, like severe weather, natural disasters, airport delays and even terror events, by alerting you to when and where they occur, and ranking them in order of impact so you can see at a glance which ones you need to pay special attention to. We might not be able to (can’t) prevent your mother-in-law turning up unannounced, but we can help you and your customers deal with real-time events like airport delays and the next big concert, thanks to our dynamic demand intelligence API.

Ranked Events

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

PredictHQ’s API gives you access to millions of unscheduled and scheduled events across 19 event categories - and counting. Within those events is near real-time data on unscheduled events like airport delays and severe weather. 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. If you’re a taxi company or accommodation provider, use airport delays to your advantage by sending more drivers to the airport, or making more rooms available at higher or lower prices. No one likes experiencing natural disasters, severe weather or terror events, but everyone who’s affected by these kinds of events like clear and supportive communication from their service providers. Use the power of PredictHQ to be aware of these kinds of unplanned scenarios so you’ll be ready to send dynamic content to your customers, with updates, changes to itineraries and special offers to keep everyone in the know.

Making Flat Event Data Intelligent

When unplanned adhoc events happen out of the blue, it’s helpful to be able to react quickly and efficiently so your business’ bottom line isn’t impacted by these current events. But it’s not always easy staying in-the-know when and where those events occur. Until now, that is. PredictHQ pulls countless 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. We make it really easy to find the data you need too. 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. Using our data is just plain easy. Integrate it 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. Your 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? PredictHQ takes the uncertainty out of unplanned real-world current events, and gives you the power over them. Now, that’s smart planning.
