Events API for Data Enrichment

Events API for Data Enrichment

Multiple data streams in just one API

Event data is everywhere - just look at any given ticketing website. But who has time to trawl through countless data streams and never-ending raw data, often in an unusable format and with countless duplicates and spam, in an attempt to figure out how each event is connected or how they could impact your business? Not you.

That’s where PredictHQ comes in. We’re in the business of data science, which means we take the hard work out of understanding and cleaning event data so you don’t have to spend precious time ensuring data quality and accuracy. We collate and aggregate past, present and future events happening locally, nationally, even globally, into one handy place, so you know what real world events are happening, when. From there, our ranking algorithm that we designed and built ourselves figures out what events are more likely to impact your business compared to others, so you can see at a glance which events you need to pay special attention to. We make flat data multidimensional, by enriching every event with additional information in order to de-dupe, filter and rank them, which sets us apart from anyone else who works in the event data space.

Demand intelligence isn’t supplied as a complex data xml, though. Download and store your own local copy of event information, 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

Use PredictHQ’s powerful demand intelligence to find millions of scheduled and unscheduled global events from more than 18 categories - and counting. Our API lets you find relevant events with a simple REST call, so you can display them in your application, while our proprietary ranking algorithm assigns a numerical rank to every event. Don’t just find out when events happened, though. Understand why increases or drops in demand happened, then unlock the secret of ups and downs in supply and demand and make solid business decisions based on data, not guesswork. Use our events to enrich your datasets to identify and analyze past events like concerts, sporting fixtures, school holidays, severe weather or airport delays, then forecast how comparable events could impact you similarly in the future. Use our real-world event data to improve dynamic pricing strategies, create efficient inventory levels, or optimize labor efforts - the key is improving demand forecasting accuracy and prediction precision.

Making Flat Event Data Intelligent

PredictHQ doesn’t simply tell you what events are happening when; we rank every event that might be relevant to your business, so you know which are more significant than others. We pull multiple data streams and third party APIs into one intuitive information source so you don’t have to - we even manually collate data when the situation calls for it. Then, we cleanse and de-dupe every event, giving your developers access to a clean, usable dataset, and saving you valuable time.

We don’t just spit out a list of basic events, either. We assign additional intelligence to every single piece of local, national and international data, so you can tell just by looking at them if they have the power to impact your profit margins. 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, and to make integrations even easier PredictHQ currently has Python and JavaScript SDKs available. 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.
