WHO IT'S FOR
Built for Developers Who Need Real Coverage
The Seeker Events API serves any team that needs reliable, hyperlocal event data as the backend for an application. Four common use cases:
App Developers
Whether you’re building a local discovery app, a neighborhood guide, a “things to do this weekend” feature, or a city companion, the Seeker Events API gives you community-level coverage, continuously refreshed.
Destinations
Events are the most visited section of every destination website. Seeker makes sure they’re worthy of that traffic — continuously discovering and structuring hyperlocal events across your destination, so the calendar reflects what’s actually happening, not just what got submitted.
Agencies
Events are the feature every client asks for and every agency dreads maintaining. Seeker handles the data layer – finding, structuring, and refreshing events automatically – so you can deliver a calendar that stays current long after the project closes.
Platform Integrators
Adding an events connector to a CMS, a DMS, or a community app is straightforward with the Seeker Events API. It embeds cleanly into existing stacks, with documented integrations for Simpleview, Tempest, and more.

What the Feed Covers
Every event in the feed is structured, deduplicated, and human-reviewed before it reaches your application.
Rich Event Objects
Every record includes title, description, start/end datetime, venue name and address, organizer, categories, images, ticket or registration URL, source attribution, and a unique Seeker event ID. Full schema in the developer docs.
Hyperlocal Coverage
Coverage goes deep into neighborhood-level events the national aggregators don’t index: farmers markets, community theater, gallery openings, local races, pop-ups, civic programming. The events that define what a place actually feels like.
Continuous Updates
Web crawlers continuously discover new events and update the API with changes. Never miss a venue change or cancellation again.
Flexible Filtering
Filter by location (city, region, date range, category and more. Easily creating landing pages for popular search terms such as ‘Live music this weekend in [CITYNAME].’
Add custom Sources
You’re never limited to venues or websites available through the API. Add any URL – a partner’s event page, a neighborhood blog, a local arts organization, a community calendar – and Seeker add it to the network.
Destination-Level Organization
Events are organized by destination geography. Pull a clean feed for a metro area without building your own geo-clustering logic. Source attribution on every record lets you filter or surface by contributing organization if your application calls for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Eventbrite and Ticketmaster index events sold or registered through their platforms. PredictHQ is built for demand forecasting: their customers are Uber, airlines, and retail chains modeling demand impact. The Seeker Events API is built for community calendar publishing: destination websites, local apps, and platforms that need to reflect what’s actually happening in a city, including the events that never touch a ticketing system. Different data model, different buyer, different use case.
The index covers major metro areas and destination markets across North America, with deeper coverage in cities and regions where Seeker Events Network is actively deployed. When you request access, we’ll confirm coverage for the specific markets you’re building for. If you need a market we don’t currently index deeply, talk to us — we’ve expanded coverage for API customers before.
The index updates daily. New events go through the curation review queue and are live within 24 to 48 hours of discovery. Date changes and cancellations are processed on the same cycle. Webhooks are available for near-real-time push updates on Pro and above tiers.
Title, description, start and end datetime (ISO 8601), venue name and address, lat/lng coordinates, organizer name, categories, tags, primary image URL, ticket or registration URL when available, source attribution, and a Seeker event ID. Rich records include additional fields like cost, age restrictions, and accessibility notes. Full schema is in the developer portal.
Yes. If you have a specific organization, publication, or event calendar you want included in coverage for your area, flag it when you set up your account. Source requests go to the curation team, who review and add approved sources to the crawl index.
Both. The standard integration polls a REST endpoint on your schedule. Webhook delivery is available for applications where a 24-hour lag on a cancellation is a real problem. Available on Pro and above tiers, documented in the API reference.
Tier-based, depending on query volume and geographic coverage. Most integrations fall into one of three standard tiers. Request access and we’ll put the right package together for your use case.
Yes. The API and the embeddable widget draw from the same underlying index. If your destination has a Seeker Events Network account, those curation settings carry through to the API. You can build a custom native app or headless integration on top of the same data that powers their embedded calendar.
