Our promise to our partners this year was improved technology and with this updated API we are delivering!
For years, local events calendars have served one primary purpose: helping readers discover what’s happening in their community.
But what if your calendar could do much more?
What if the same event data powering your website could also fuel your newsletters, social media channels, AI initiatives, print products, mobile apps, and audience engagement strategies?
That’s exactly why we built the updated Evvnt Partner API.
We worked with our partners Gannett, USA Today, Hearst, Newsquest, Lee Enterprises, and others to define a more useful API solution and we will continue to do this going forward.
No need to do anything. This update is built-in.
This helps our partners in many ways like staying connected with your audience and your event promoters.
That means access to events from major sources including Ticketmaster, AXS, Bandsintown and many other event providers—all delivered through a single integration.
Meanwhile, local audiences are constantly searching for things to do.
The opportunity is obvious.
The challenge has always been getting enough quality event data into the right places at the right time.
The updated Evvnt Partner API solves that problem.
With one integration, publishers can access a comprehensive feed of local events and automatically distribute that content wherever it creates value.
What Can You Do With the API?
The short answer?
A lot. There are many different ways you can use this integration to your advantage.
Here are some of the most common use cases:
Daily Events Email Newsletters
Create automated “Things To Do Today,” “Weekend Picks,” or category-specific event newsletters without manually compiling event listings.
Your audience gets relevant local content. Your team saves hours.
Everybody wins.
Dedicated Events Email Alerts
Want a daily entertainment email?
A family activities newsletter?
A live music roundup?
The API can automatically power recurring event-focused newsletters that keep readers engaged and returning regularly.
Social Media Content
Need something to post besides another weather update?
Use local event data to generate social posts, weekend guides, event spotlights, and audience recommendations across Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and more.
Website & App Experiences
Display structured event grids, searchable calendars, category pages, event widgets, or fully white-labeled event experiences directly within your digital properties.
Print Products
Yes, print still matters.
Many publishers continue to create weekly entertainment guides, community listings, and event sections.
The API makes it easy to populate those products with fresh local content.
AI & Recommendation Engines
As publishers explore AI-powered search, recommendations, and content discovery tools, structured event data becomes increasingly valuable.
The more comprehensive your local events database, the better those experiences become.
