Events API for Data Intelligence

Events API for Data Intelligence

Multiple data streams in just one API

Data is power … right? Well, yes and no. Data can be power, but only if you know how to use it and what it means. And let’s be honest: no one has time to trawl through screeds of data, figure out what bits you need to pay to attention to, then apply it to your own business.

Until now, that is. PredictHQ’s API takes the hard work out of event data sourcing and cleansing, by doing it all for you. We collate and aggregate local, national and international events into one handy place, so you know what real-world events are happening and when. You’ll discover millions of scheduled events like school holidays, public holidays, concerts, sporting fixtures and conferences, right through to unscheduled events like natural disasters, airport delays, even terror events. 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’re not simply in the business of event data visibility; we’re also about analysis and enrichment, which means you’re one step closer to making great business decisions.

Use our API to return details about thousands of events that could impact your business or download and store event data that’s relevant to you, so you can integrate it with your own products and datasets and make requests to your own local copy.

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 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 so you can filter from most to least potential impact. From there, base your business decisions on founded data, not guesswork. Adjust or create marketing campaigns, optimize your pricing strategy and revenue management system, roster more staff, allocate more inventory, send more cab drivers to the right parts of town at the right times … all business decisions that will help you make the most of increased demand (or mitigate a drop in demand).

Making Flat Event Data Intelligent

PredictHQ 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. But the feature that sets us apart from other event information providers is our ability to make raw data intelligent, by enhancing and enriching it with more data and ranking. Finding the events that matters to you is easy too. Lookup events by searching within a geographical radius, using IATA codes or geographical place names. You can query multiple categories and locations at the same time, and get JSON responses. Display our data in your application by forwarding live requests to our server, or download and store your own local copy to make requests to so you can use it in your own data modeling, analysis and products. Integrate our data with any platform thanks to our easy-to-use API, 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.
