Events API for Mapping

Events API for Mapping

Multiple data streams in just one API

Are you looking to create a dynamic event-based POI for your application? We have the solution you’ve been looking for. PredictHQ’s intuitive API makes it easy to see at a glance when and where events are happening, and which ones could have a direct impact on your business. We’re talking about any kind of real-world events, including scheduled events like concerts, sporting fixtures, conferences and school holidays, right through to unscheduled events like natural disasters, severe weather, airport delays - even terror. Use our radial search functionality, or search by IATA codes or by geographical place names, to find events, then predict how likely they’ll impact your business thanks to our ranking algorithm. Make fool-proof business decisions based on data, not guesswork. Keen to do more with our data? Download and store geospatial event data so you can undertake data modeling and analysis, enhance your own dataset or create derivative products.

Ranked Events

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

You use a map to find out where you’re going, so it makes sense to use one to find out where your business is going too. PredictHQ’s event intelligence enables businesses just like yours to enjoy total visibility of events that could impact your bottom line, based on where and when they’re happening. Our API gives you access to millions of scheduled and unscheduled global real world events across 18 categories - and counting - and enables you to find relevant events to display in your application with a simple REST call. Our radial search feature lets you find events within a geographical radius to display them on a map based on your users’ search parameters, giving a visualization of where events are happening. 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. A Taylor Swift concert happening just around the corner from your pizza shop might increase foot-traffic through your doors, while a knitting expo a few blocks away probably won’t have any impact. Use this intel to plan marketing campaigns well in advance to leverage increased demand, add more flights for a particular route or rooms in hotels, and adjust your pricing strategy accordingly. PredictHQ’s lets you discover the wonderful world of event intelligence, and use that intel to make solid business decisions.

Making Flat Event Data Intelligent

PredictHQ pulls hundreds of 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. Discover events that are relevant to you 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. Integrating our data with any platform is simple thanks to our easy-to-use API. We also have Python and JavaScript SDKs available, and we use the OAuth 2.0 standard for authentication with access tokens 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, plus our API is versioned for easier maintenance, reducing operational costs. Use our API to search for relevant event data to display in your maps by making live requests forwarded to our server, or download and store event data to make requests to your own local copy for use in data modeling and analysis, enriching your own dataset or to produce derivative works.
